About The Effect of Sun on the Banks of the Loing

The artwork entitled “The Effect of Sun on the Banks of the Loing” was painted by Francis Picabia in 1905. Executed using oil on canvas, the painting is an exemplar of the Impressionism art movement. This landscape piece measures 33.5 by 46 centimeters and is part of a private collection.

The artwork depicts a serene riverside scene bathed in sunlight. Dominated by lush, verdant trees, the composition shows their foliage extending over the banks of the Loing River, filtering sunlight that scatters across the landscape. In the background, one can observe a quaint house, partially obscured by the greenery, while a lone figure in a small boat glides smoothly across the calm waters of the river. The use of vibrant colors and textured brushstrokes captures the ephemeral quality of light, a hallmark of Impressionist techniques, rendering a vivid portrayal of nature’s tranquil beauty.
