“The Parsonage Garden at Nuenen in the Snow” is an oil on canvas landscape painting created by Vincent van Gogh in 1885. This artwork, belonging to the Realism movement, depicts a serene winter scene and is currently housed in the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, California, USA.
The artwork portrays a quiet garden scene covered in snow, with leafless trees standing starkly against the wintry landscape. A solitary figure, engaged in labor, can be observed diligently working in the snow, adding a human element to the otherwise tranquil and somber environment. Van Gogh’s use of dark tones and meticulous brushwork evokes the harshness and beauty of the winter season, illustrating the artist’s keen observation of nature and everyday rural life.
