Pissarro Gelee Blanche 1873 Bare Trees by a Frosty Pond Poster
Dark bare trees stand over a frost-rimmed pond in this moody 1873 winter scene. Gelee Blanche is Pissarro’s ode to the stillness of a freezing dawn.
Description
Camille Pissarro painted Gelee Blanche (White Frost) in 1873 near Pontoise, France — skeletal trunks reflected in half-frozen water, the banks glazed with ice. Cool impressionist tones of slate blue, umber, and pearl convey deep winter quiet. A bold black poster frame carries the artist name, year, and title.
