"Flood at Moret" (1879) by Alfred Sisley is a depiction of the town of Moret-sur-Loing, France, during a flood. Known for his Impressionist style, Sisley captures the ephemeral beauty of the scene, utilizing loose brushstrokes and muted colors to depict the swollen river, bare trees, and distant houses. This painting, now housed at the Brooklyn Museum, is a testament to Sisley's mastery of landscape painting and his ability to capture the subtle nuances of light and atmosphere.
