Winter Morning Veneux 1881

"Winter Morning Veneux" is a 1881 oil on canvas landscape painting by Alfred Sisley (1840-1899) that depicts a serene winter scene. The composition centers on the river Seine in Veneux-les-Sablons, France, with bare trees lining the riverbank and a soft, pastel palette capturing the delicate light of a winter morning. Sisley, a key figure in the Impressionist movement, utilized loose brushstrokes and a focus on capturing fleeting moments of light to depict this tranquil landscape. The painting is notable for its sensitivity to atmospheric effects and the subtle interplay of light and shadow.
