Path near Sevres 1879

Alfred Sisley's "Path near Sevres" (1879) is a quintessential example of Impressionist landscape painting. The work depicts a winding country lane lined with lush foliage, the soft light of the sky reflecting off the foliage. The brushstrokes are loose and visible, capturing the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere. Sisley was known for his focus on the natural world, and this work exemplifies his meticulous observation of the interplay of light, shadow, and color in the landscape.
