The artwork titled “Chestnut Avenue in La Celle Saint Cloud” was created in 1865 by Alfred Sisley. Utilizing oil on canvas, the piece belongs to the Realism art movement and falls within the landscape genre. It measures 50 by 65 cm.
In this artwork, Alfred Sisley captures a serene and verdant landscape dominated by a row of robust chestnut trees. The towering trees form a canopy, their dense foliage creating a play of light and shadow on the ground below. The scene exudes tranquility as the natural sunlight filters through the spaces between the leaves, illuminating patches of the forest floor with a gentle, warm glow. The ground is a blend of scattered rocks and grassy underbrush, further enhancing the realistic depiction of a secluded, untouched nature path. The meticulous brushwork and attention to detail reflect Sisley’s adept skill in conveying the peaceful beauty of the natural world.
