Driving Snow on the Seine, 1880
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Christian Eriksen Skredsvig captures a mesmerizing winter scene in Paris. This large-scale watercolor painting depicts a bustling cityscape transformed by a heavy snowfall. The artist's meticulous brushstrokes bring to life the frozen drifts and swirling flakes that blanket the streets. In this daily life scene, we witness the resilience of Parisian workers as they navigate through the treacherous conditions. A horse-drawn cart struggles against the elements, its wheels leaving tracks in the thick snow. The horses' breath mingles with frosty air, emphasizing their determination to carry out their duties. The architectural beauty of Paris is not diminished by nature's wintry grip; instead, it adds an ethereal quality to iconic structures like bridges and buildings along the Seine River. As pedestrians brave icy sidewalks, diligent individuals can be seen shoveling and clearing pathways for safe passage. Skredsvig masterfully captures both human activity and wildlife in this artwork. Horses become central figures amidst urban chaos while retaining their innate connection to farm animals and livestock—a reminder of simpler times before modern transportation took over. This remarkable print transports us back to late 19th-century France when winters were harsh yet enchanting. It serves as a testament to Skredsvig's ability to capture fleeting moments of everyday life with his skilled brushwork and keen observation.
