"Looking at Moret in the Rain" (1888) by Alfred Sisley is a captivating depiction of a street scene in Moret-sur-Loing, France. The painting showcases Sisley's mastery of Impressionism, capturing the fleeting effects of light and weather on the landscape. The distant church tower dominates the composition, while the foreground features figures carrying umbrellas, suggesting a recent downpour.
