Note

A distinguished American Impressionist painter, Walter Launt Palmer was renowned for his masterful depictions of snow-covered landscapes, earning him the title of “Painter of the American Winter.” He excelled at capturing the translucent effects of light on snow and the palpable chill that fills the winter air, creating a near-immersive visual experience.
