It is now in the Musée des beaux-arts de Rouen, to which it was given by François Depeaux in 1909[1] It was painted at Marly-le-Roi and a lifesize reproduction of it is on display near the site of its creation as part of the Pays des Impressionnistes trail[2].

History
Utagawa Hiroshige, 16th view, 15th state, The Fifty-three Stations of the Tōkaidō - Snowy Night at Kambara

Sisley had moved to Marly in 1875. The winters of 1875-1876 were exceptionally cold, with temperatures below zero and frequent snow. Sisley painted several snowy views of Marly and nearby Louveciennes[3]. Unlike Auguste Renoir, who called snow "nature's leprosy", Sisley enjoyed painting snowy scenes[4] Several of his works also show Japanese influence, in the case of this work particularly Snowy Night at Kambara by Hiroshige[5].

gollark: ```javascriptimport m = require("mithril")import * as RPCTypes from "../common/rpc"export const sendMessage = (msg: RPCTypes.Message): Promise<RPCTypes.MessageResponse> => { return m.request( { method: "POST", url: "./rpc/", body: msg, }).then(res => { const [ type, p1, p2 ] = res if (type === "error") { throw new RPCTypes.RPCError(p2, p1) } else if (type === "ok") { return p1 } else { throw new Error("Invalid RPC response") } })}const handler = { get: (target, prop) => (...args) => sendMessage([prop, ...args])}export const serverProxy = new Proxy({}, handler)```
gollark: The RPC thing and some JS hax on the client mean I can basically just call any function the server provides as if it's a local one (except asynchronously).
gollark: minoteaur is just plain RPC - you do `POST /rpc` with a function and its arguments as JSON.
gollark: You're forced to try and map the data/functions your thing provides onto a structure which may not really fit them well.
gollark: To be honest I find REST kind of an uncool way to design APIs.

L'artiste peignit alors un grand nombre de vues enneigées, tant à Marly qu'à Louveciennes, non loin de là. "
