Vue de toits (Effet de neige) (English title: View of rooftops (Effect of snow)) is an oil painting by French impressionist Gustave Caillebotte executed in the winter of 1878 and 1879.[1] The canvas measures 81 by 65 centimetres (32 in × 26 in). It was originally gifted by Caillebotte's brother in 1894 to the Musée du Luxembourg,[2] then transferred to the Musée du Louvre in 1929. In 1947, it was moved to the Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume, which held many impressionist works in France after World War II. In 1986, it was transferred again to the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where it is currently displayed.[2] The painting is one of the few Caillebotte works that have remained in public view since the artist's death in 1894.[3]

Caillebotte created many paintings showing urban Paris from unexpected perspectives, such as a streetscape seen from indoors in Jeune homme à la fenêtre (1875), or the exaggerated perspective of Rue de Paris, temps de pluie (1877). Vue de toits depicts snow-covered rooftops in Montmartre, Paris from a high vantage point, possibly a balcony. Here Caillebotte employs a largely monochromatic palette of grays, adding additional color to highlight building features.[3] This perspective was not at all common in French paintings, and in fact Caillebotte may have been inspired by the photographic works of Hippolyte Bayard.[4]

The painting was first shown at the fourth Impressionist Exhibition held in Paris in 1879, one of 25 works Caillebotte brought to the show. At the time, it did not garner much interest from the crowds, who preferred his portraits and nautical images. However, this image, and one other showing views of rooftops at that show, are now considered important works.[3]

Verschneite Dächer, auch Blick über Dächer bei Schnee (französisch Vue de toits (Effet de neige) oder Toits sous la neige)[1], ist ein im Winter 1878/79 entstandenes Gemälde des französischen Malers Gustave Caillebotte. Das 64,5 cm × 81 cm große, in Öl auf Leinwand gemalte Bild ist Teil einer Serie von sechs Gemälden, die – anders als zuvor vom Künstler gemalte Bilder – nicht die streng geometrisch gegliederten Grands Boulevards zeigen, sondern den Blick auf ungeordnete Dächer und Hinterhöfe der von der Modernisierung unberührt gebliebenen Stadtteile von Paris.
