The Seine at Saint Mammes 1888

"The Seine at Saint Mammes" is a 1888 painting by Alfred Sisley, a prominent figure in the Impressionist movement. The work depicts a tranquil scene of the Seine River with a bridge leading into a small town. The composition is dominated by the vast expanse of water, painted with delicate strokes that capture the shimmering light reflecting on the surface. The soft blues and greens of the sky and water create a sense of serenity, while the white bridge and buildings provide a focal point for the viewer's eye. This painting exemplifies Sisley's mastery of capturing the beauty of the natural world and his ability to evoke a sense of calm and tranquility in his viewers.
