The artwork titled “Meadow”, created by Alfred Sisley in 1875, is an oil painting on canvas that belongs to the Impressionism art movement. Measuring 54.9 x 73 cm, this landscape genre piece is housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, US.
The artwork depicts a serene and lush meadow under a vast, light blue sky punctuated by soft white clouds. The foreground of the painting features wildflowers and tall grasses, imbuing the scene with a sense of natural beauty and tranquility. A rustic fence weaves through the middle ground, dividing the meadow and adding an element of human presence within the untouched landscape. Distant trees and rolling hills extend towards the horizon, painted with gentle, diffused strokes typical of the Impressionist style. The artist employs a delicate palette with hues of green, blue, and earthy tones, creating a harmonious and idyllic rural setting.
