“Moret Sur Loing” is an oil painting on canvas created by Alfred Sisley in 1885. This piece, which adheres to the Impressionist movement, measures 53.3 by 72.4 cm and belongs to the landscape genre. Currently, it resides within a private collection.
The artwork depicts a serene riverside scene bathed in soft, diffused light. The artist’s skillful application of loose, vibrant brushstrokes captures the tranquil ambiance of the river and surrounding nature. The composition features a riverbank with lush, verdant trees on the right, casting their reflection on the calm water. To the left, the river stretches into the distance, with figures in boats and distant structures adding depth and perspective to the scene. The sky, painted in light blues with scattered clouds, enhances the sense of peacefulness and openness. Sisley’s use of color and light exemplifies the characteristic Impressionist focus on capturing the transient effects of natural light and atmosphere.
