We usually associate the Impressionists with picnics, boating, and warm weather activities.

But Monet, Pissarro, and Sisley were just as likely to take their easels out in winter and study the effects of light on snow. 

From Monet's early The Magpie to his late work in Norway, Impressionist snow scenes are dazzling proof that their makers were closely observing nature in every season.
