“A February Morning at Moret sur Loing” is an oil painting on canvas by Alfred Sisley, created in 1881. This impressionist landscape measures 50 by 65 cm and is currently in a private collection. The artwork showcases Sisley’s mastery in capturing the subtleties of light and atmosphere, hallmarks of the Impressionism movement.
The artwork depicts a serene riverside scene in the village of Moret-sur-Loing. The tall, leafless trees extend towards the sky while casting elongated shadows across the ground. The river reflects the muted tones of the sky and the outlines of the village’s structures. In the background, the silhouette of a prominent building, likely a church, rises against the sky, adding a sense of depth to the landscape. The overall ambiance of the artwork is tranquil with the delicate morning light gently illuminating the scene. Sisley’s characteristic brushwork effectively conveys the quiet beauty and chill of a February morning in rural France.
