Ferry to the Ile de la Loge, Flood 1872

"Ferry to the Ile de la Loge, Flood" (1872) by Alfred Sisley captures the serene beauty of a flooded landscape. The painting, now housed in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, portrays a rural French scene with delicate brushstrokes and soft colors. The pale sky and flooded fields create a sense of tranquility, while the bare trees and partially submerged structures hint at the recent passage of a storm. This work exemplifies Sisley's Impressionist style, emphasizing light and atmosphere over precise detail.
