This rejection led Monet to organize impressionist exhibitions. It’s now considered a masterpiece of early Impressionism.

There is something about snow in the impressionist style that I just find unexplainably beautiful.

Seeing a Monet reminds me of this scene in Dr. Who where Van Gogh stops to look at a Monet water lilies painting. It's a nice touch because he was very much influenced by Monet's work. And I only now learned that it was made 15 years after Van Gogh took his own life, so he wouldn't have seen it before.
