Snow in Berkeley Square, London is a celebration of one of Mayfair’s most elegant garden squares, transformed by the stillness of winter. Fresh snow softens the architecture and pathways of Berkeley Square, while warm glowing windows and scattered figures bring life and movement to the scene. Van Breda’s expressive brushwork captures the fleeting beauty of a snowy London afternoon. 

A recurring theme throughout Peter van Breda’s work is his fascination with returning to the same viewpoints time and time again, observing how light, weather and atmosphere can entirely reshape a place. In Snow in Berkeley Square, the artist revisits one of London’s most recognisable squares under a blanket of snow, revealing how dramatically a familiar setting can change with the seasons. The same streets and buildings take on a new sense of calm, demonstrating how weather can alter not only the appearance of a location, but also the emotional experience of being there. With its sophisticated palette of cool whites, deep blues, and warm golden highlights, Snow in Berkeley Square, London offers a timeless London scene filled with seasonal charm.
