The Seine near St-Cloud 1877

"The Seine near St-Cloud" is an oil painting by Alfred Sisley, created in 1877. It showcases the artist's signature Impressionist style, characterized by the loose brushstrokes and emphasis on capturing the fleeting effects of light. The painting depicts a serene landscape with the Seine River winding through the picturesque French countryside. The distant town of St-Cloud is visible in the background, while a lone figure walks along the riverbank in the foreground, adding a sense of scale and human presence to the scene. Sisley was known for his landscapes, often depicting the beauty of the French countryside, particularly around the Seine River.
