A Corner of the Roches Courtaut Woods, June 1884

"A Corner of the Roches Courtaut Woods, June" is an oil painting by Alfred Sisley, a leading figure in the Impressionist movement, created in 1884. The painting captures a tranquil scene of a wooded path with a hint of a river in the distance, showcasing Sisley's signature style of capturing the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere. With loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors, the artwork evokes a sense of serenity and the beauty of the natural world. The scene is a perfect example of Sisley's mastery of plein-air painting, as he used direct observation to capture the nuances of light and shadow within the landscape.
