Place du Chenil in Marly, Snow Effect is an 1876 oil on canvas painting by Alfred Sisley. It is now in the Musée des beaux-arts de Rouen, to which it was given by François Depeaux in 1909[1] It was painted at Marly-le-Roi and a lifesize reproduction of it is on display near the site of its creation as part of the Pays des Impressionnistes trail.[2]
History
Sisley had moved to Marly in 1875. The winters of 1875-1876 were exceptionally cold, with temperatures below zero and frequent snow. Sisley painted several snowy views of Marly and nearby Louveciennes.[3] Unlike Auguste Renoir, who called snow "nature's leprosy", Sisley enjoyed painting snowy scenes[4] Several of his works also show Japanese influence, in the case of this work particularly Snowy Night at Kambara by Hiroshige.[5]

L'artiste peignit alors un grand nombre de vues enneigées, tant à Marly qu'à Louveciennes, non loin de là. "
