Above is "Boulevard Saint-Denis, Argenteuil, in Winter" by Claude Monet.
This painting, although not viewed by the whole class was the piece of art that really jumped out to me as I walked through the Museum of Fine Arts. Winter being my favorite time of the year is what initially made me want to get closer to the painting. As I looked closer I was amazed with how Monet played with the weather and the light. I could really feel the struggle the sunlight was having as it tried to peek through the soft falling snow. I also really love Impressionism because of the visible brush strokes, how it isnt directly focused on the subject matter, and how there is an emphasis on light and its changing qualities.
