“Pont et Moulin de Moret en été,” painted by Alfred Sisley in 1888, is an artwork from the Impressionism movement. Created using oil on canvas, the artwork measures 55 by 71 centimeters and depicts a landscape.
The artwork showcases a picturesque summer scene featuring a stone bridge and mill in Moret-sur-Loing, France. The composition is enriched with vibrant hues and dynamic brushwork characteristic of the Impressionist style. The left side of the painting depicts a row of tall trees lining a path, leading the viewer’s eye towards the central bridge and the buildings that straddle the clear water of the river below. The reflections in the water are skillfully rendered, further enhancing the serene and idyllic atmosphere. The sky above is touched with various shades of blue and white, hinting at a tranquil summer day. This piece exemplifies Sisley’s mastery in capturing the play of light and natural beauty inherent in his chosen landscapes.
