The straw Rent 1888

"The Straw Rent" is a painting by Alfred Sisley, completed in 1888, that exemplifies the Impressionist movement. The painting depicts a picturesque scene of a bridge over a river, with a town in the background and a line of trees in the foreground. The use of light and color, particularly the vivid blue sky and the reflection of the water, are hallmarks of Impressionism. Sisley's focus on capturing the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere gives the painting a sense of immediacy and realism. "The Straw Rent" is a testament to Sisley's mastery of landscape painting and his dedication to capturing the beauty of the natural world.
