During the winter of 1844/45, théodore rousseau shared quarters with fellow painter jules dupré to the east of paris, near l'îsle-adam on the oise river. In this view showing the effects of frost on the sloping terrain, rousseau broke with academic practice by working outdoors for a week, painting directly on the canvas. In so doing, he bypassed the distinction between the outdoor sketch and the finished painting, which was traditionally completed in the studio. Object Type: painting. Date: 1845.
