“Langland Bay, Storr’s Rock, Morning” is an oil on canvas painting created in 1897 by the artist Alfred Sisley. Belonging to the Impressionism movement, the artwork is categorized under the landscape genre. It measures 65 by 81 centimeters and is currently housed in the Kunstmuseum Bern in Bern, Switzerland.
The artwork captures a serene coastal scene during the morning at Langland Bay featuring Storr’s Rock as its focal point. Prominent in the foreground is a large, rugged rock formation with the gentle waves of the sea lapping against it. The sky above is rendered in soft hues, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and light. Sisley’s brushstrokes are characteristically loose and fluid, effectively capturing the fleeting effects of light and movement in nature. The delicate interplay of light on the rock and the water reflects the hallmarks of the Impressionist style, emphasizing the artist’s ability to convey the ephemeral beauty of the natural landscape.
