The Lane of Poplars at Moret sur Loing 1890

Alfred Sisley's "The Lane of Poplars at Moret sur Loing" (1890) is a quintessential example of Impressionist landscape painting. The artwork captures the idyllic beauty of a rural French scene, showcasing a row of poplars lining a path that leads to a bridge over a meandering river. Sisley's signature style, characterized by loose brushstrokes and vibrant color, is evident in the depiction of light filtering through the trees, casting dappled shadows on the path. The scene evokes a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature, exemplifying the Impressionist movement's interest in capturing fleeting moments and the effects of light on the natural world.
