“Cliffs at Penarth, Evening, Low Tide,” created by Alfred Sisley in 1897, exemplifies the Impressionist art movement. Executed in oil on canvas, this landscape painting measures 54 by 65 centimeters. The artwork showcases Sisley’s refined technique and keen eye for capturing the transient effects of light and atmosphere.
The artwork portrays a serene coastal scene at Penarth during low tide in the evening. The horizon extends endlessly with muted tones blending seamlessly into the sky and sea, creating a tranquil and contemplative ambiance. The foreground features rugged cliffs with verdant vegetation and softly undulating contours that lead the viewer’s eye towards the distant shore. The impressionistic brushstrokes convey texture and movement, evoking the natural beauty and calm of the seascape.
