A perspective guided by irregular traces
The furrows start near the viewer then approach each other without forming a rigid geometric construction. Their sinuous movement gives depth and recalls the difficult traffic on thick snow.

Artwork description
Claude Monet · Boulevard Saint-Denis under the snow · National Gallery in London
A snowy road crosses Argenteuil between hedges, trees and houses almost dissolved in mist. A few figures advance slowly, while two brown tracks wind towards the church and the horizon. Monet displays on his largest canvas in the winter series a range of whites, blues and grays warmed by rare pinks and reds.

Look at the work
The road occupies the entire width of the foreground before narrowing towards the center left. Low hedges border it, then bare trees climb on each side. In the middle, a figure dressed in blue and several more distant silhouettes give scale to the thickness of the snow.
The two brown furrows in the foreground are neither straight nor parallel: they undulate and lead towards the fog-shrouded buildings. The church and recent houses on Boulevard Saint-Denis lose their contours in the sky. A few red touches return to the branches, traces and vegetation to connect the different areas.
The subject is not just the snowy street, but how the cold, fog and late day reduce the entire city to tonal ratios.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.
The furrows start near the viewer then approach each other without forming a rigid geometric construction. Their sinuous movement gives depth and recalls the difficult traffic on thick snow.
At 71.1 × 91.4 cm, this work is the largest of Argenteuil's snow-covered views. Monet simplifies certain details to dominate the atmospheric unity, diffused light and the feeling of space.
Blues, grays and whites occupy most of the surface. The pink of the sky, the browns of the tracks and a few reds in the trees appear at calculated intervals and prevent the scene from becoming cold or uniform.
Reference image
The image corresponds to the National Gallery's NG6607 inventory and Wildenstein number 352. The high definition file was limited to 3,000 × 2,373 px then encoded in WebP, without artificial enlargement.
The National Gallery observes that road painting is heavier there than elsewhere. This density must remain visible without transforming the ground into uniform decorative relief.
Their fine, calligraphic features pass over the sky and the houses. They structure the edges of the composition while retaining interruptions that allow mist to circulate.
The church and facades must not be artificially reinforced. Their values close to the sky allow the gaze to measure depth before the horizon dissolves.
Documented benchmarks
Painted in 1875, this oil on canvas measuring 71.1 × 91.4 cm is signed Claude Monet. It is kept at the National Gallery in London under the NG6607 inventory and classified Wildenstein 352.
The National Gallery places the motif near Monet's house, towards the junction with rue de la Voie-des-Bans. The station was behind the artist and the Seine beyond the buildings.
The museum links the painting to the exceptional winter of 1874 -1875. Monet varies dimensions and points of view; this painting is the largest and favors atmosphere rather than anecdote.
Duret bought the work from Monet in December 1879. After several French and American collections, it belonged to Simon Sainsbury, who bequeathed it to the National Gallery in 2006.
