| | John Henry Twachtman - Winter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) |
 | | Winter was painted on Twachtman’s farm near Greenwich, Connecticut, near the home of his close friend, the painter J. |
 | | Influenced by Whistler's soft, subdued tones, Twachtman painted many Winter scenes, keying his palette to the saturated white of snow, ice, and atmosphere. |
 | | Winter, painted in the early 1890s, has a mood of hushed stillness, typical of softly falling snow and conveyed through even, muted tonalities and vaporous, mist-shrouded forms, seen through a veil of snow. |
