Painting Description
"Rooftops Under Snow" (French: "Toits sous la neige") is an oil painting by the French artist Gustave Caillebotte, created in 1878. The painting is one of Caillebotte's series of urban landscapes, which often depict the Haussmannization of Paris during the late 19th century. This particular work captures a view of the city's rooftops blanketed in snow, showcasing Caillebotte's interest in perspective and the effects of weather on the urban environment.
Measuring 65 x 81 cm, "Rooftops Under Snow" is noted for its use of color, light, and shadow to convey the chill and quietude of a Parisian winter day. The painting's composition, with its flattened perspective and attention to geometric forms, reflects Caillebotte's link to both Impressionism and Realism. While he was associated with the Impressionists and participated in their exhibitions, his work often displayed a more realistic, structured approach, as seen in the careful rendering of the snow-covered roofs.
Caillebotte's interest in the mundane aspects of city life, such as the view of rooftops from an upper-story window, was part of a broader shift in art towards modernity and the experience of urban living. "Rooftops Under Snow" is exemplary of his contribution to capturing the transformation of Paris in the late 19th century, a subject that fascinated many artists of the time.
The painting is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art institutions around the world, contributing to the appreciation of Caillebotte's work in the context of Impressionist art. As with many of his paintings, "Rooftops Under Snow" reflects Caillebotte's unique position within the Impressionist movement and his enduring fascination with the changing Parisian landscape.
