View of Montmartre from the Cite des Fleurs 1869

"View of Montmartre from the Cite des Fleurs," painted in 1869 by Alfred Sisley, showcases the Impressionist artist's signature style of capturing the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere. The painting depicts a view of the Montmartre district in Paris, as seen from the Cite des Fleurs. The composition focuses on a foreground of bare trees in a field, while buildings and hills rise up in the distance. The soft brushstrokes, gentle color palette, and emphasis on the effects of light and weather are characteristic of Impressionism. The painting is currently housed in the Musée de Grenoble, France.
