Near the Bank of the Seine at By 1882

"Near the Bank of the Seine at By" (1882) by Alfred Sisley (1840-1899) depicts a serene landscape with a view of the Seine River and the surrounding countryside. The Impressionist painter captures the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere, using loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors to evoke a sense of tranquility and beauty. The painting showcases the artist's signature style of capturing the changing light and weather conditions, creating a sense of immediacy and realism. The work, now in a private collection, exemplifies the beauty of the French countryside and Sisley's mastery of the Impressionist aesthetic.
