The artwork titled “Banks of the Loing, Saint Mammes” was created by Alfred Sisley in the year 1885. This painting, rendered with oil on canvas, belongs to the Impressionism art movement and measures 46 by 55 centimeters. The genre of this piece is landscape, and it is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork exquisitely captures the serene riverside of the Loing at Saint Mammes. Characteristically Impressionist, it emphasizes natural light and color with a distinctively loose brushwork. The reflections in the gently rippling water, the sparse yet deliberate use of color to depict the foliage, and the subtle architectural details all contribute to a tranquil scene of domestic and natural harmony. The sky’s broad expanse, rendered in varied shades of blue, further enhances the calm and expansive mood of the piece.
