Maybe there are\u00a0two ways to look at it &#8211; you&#8217;re either surrounded by snow and would prefer\u00a0looking at beach scenes, or you don&#8217;t have snow on the ground so a lovely painting of snow looks downright exotic and\u00a0cozy. Either way, you might recognize some of these paintings, or the names of the artists who painted them. Some are from our own on-line gallery.

This is Monet\u2019s largest winter painting, depicting a single black bird on a fence in Etretat \u2013 but what\u2019s most thrilling about the work is the shadows on the snow, done not in black but in a convention-shocking blue.<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 411px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2014\/12\/19\/snow-in-art_n_6357618.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i.huffpost.com\/gen\/1510295\/thumbs\/o-MUNCH-900.jpg?2\" alt=\"\" width=\"401\" height=\"321\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Edvard Munch, &#8220;New Snow in the Avenue,&#8221; 1906, Munch Museum, \u00a9 Munch Museum\/Munch-EllingsendGroup\/DACS 2012<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2014\/12\/19\/snow-in-art_n_6357618.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i.huffpost.com\/gen\/1510344\/thumbs\/o-WINTER-900.jpg?1\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"293\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wassily Kandinsky, &#8220;Winter Landscape,&#8221; 1909, oil on cardboard, 75.5 x 97.5 cm, The State Hermitage Museum, St.Petersburg, Russia<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2014\/12\/19\/snow-in-art_n_6357618.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i.huffpost.com\/gen\/1510370\/thumbs\/o-SHISHKIN-900.jpg?1\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"574\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ivan Shishkin, &#8220;In the Wild North,&#8221; 1891, oil on canvas, 161 cm (63.4 in) x118 cm (46.5 in), Museum of Russian Art in Kiev<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zatista.com\/product\/details\/38168\/Snow-in-Boston\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/zatista-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/products\/15021_lurm0d3sf6bbk6t0bbb4p80a72_z9zGSFFqZeWEiWjH_1_390x520.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"532\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Snow in Boston by Peter Laughton $485 on Zatista.com<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zatista.com\/product\/details\/27242\/Early-Thaw\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/zatista-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/products\/3855_8pt5vsjuh1nllgs9crbmitfns1_l35Y6NPfBMaF0qoF_1_390x520.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"511\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Early Thaw by Anne Lively $270 on Zatista.com<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 411px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zatista.com\/product\/details\/42845\/Winter-in-Germany\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/zatista-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/products\/16070_36gjstjt1r8bi4os40lbhi9ii2_q3rvo3sWt05I3irL_1_390x520.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"401\" height=\"288\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Winter in Germany by Vyusal Rain $1,030 on Zatista.com<\/p><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zatista.com\/product\/details\/35660\/After-the-Storm\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/zatista-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/products\/5662_b4iv032qj6b9c00joppliqg4k6_G7VV5zGjm0Yw1xO9_1_390x520.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;After the Storm&#8221; by John Bowdren $510 on Zatista.com<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since much of the country is still knee deep in the heart of winter, it seems appropriate to look at some snow scenes.
