The Church at Moret, Rainy Morning 1893

Alfred Sisley's "The Church at Moret, Rainy Morning" (1893) is a striking example of Impressionism. The painting showcases Sisley's ability to capture the ephemeral qualities of light and weather. The dominant golden hues of the church facade contrast with the cool grays of the sky and the shadowed street, creating a sense of atmospheric depth. The brushstrokes are loose and visible, reflecting the artist's focus on capturing the fleeting effects of the rainy morning. The painting's emphasis on light and atmosphere, and the use of broken brushstrokes, are key features of the Impressionist movement.
