River Landscape by Moret sur Loing 1890

Alfred Sisley's "River Landscape by Moret sur Loing" from 1890 is a quintessential example of Impressionism, characterized by its depiction of light and atmosphere. This oil on canvas painting showcases the French countryside, featuring a tranquil river winding through a lush landscape. The artist's signature loose brushstrokes and bright, vibrant colors capture the shimmering reflections of the water and the dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves, showcasing Sisley's mastery of capturing the fleeting effects of natural light. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of a rowboat in the foreground, adding a sense of stillness and contemplation to the overall composition. The painting, currently in a private collection, is a testament to Sisley's enduring contribution to Impressionist art.
