Freiburg in the Snow Hugues de Beaumont (French, 1874-1947). Freiburg in the Snow, ca. 1920. Oil on canvas, 21 1/4 x 25 5/8in. (54 x ). In this image of a Swiss town blanketed by a heavy snowfall, Beaumont combines a subtle winter palette of whites, grays, and browns with energetic brushwork. He places a black-cloaked figure on a snow-covered track (indicated by gentle modulations in tone), leading the viewer diagonally into the picture and lending a human presence to an otherwise stark scene. European Art ca. 1920
