The artwork “Bougival,” created by Alfred Sisley in 1878, is an oil painting on canvas that belongs to the Impressionism art movement. Representing the landscape genre, the artwork is currently housed in a private collection.
“Bougival” captures a serene riverside scene characterized by an expansive sky filled with soft clouds, reflecting the Impressionist focus on light and atmosphere. The interplay of light on the water and the vibrant yet subtle colors used for the foliage and buildings on the riverbank exhibit Sisley’s skill in depicting natural landscapes. The loose brushwork typical of the Impressionist style lends a sense of spontaneity and movement to the composition, making the viewer feel as though they are witnessing a fleeting moment in time.
