“The Loing at Moret” is an oil painting on canvas created by Alfred Sisley in 1883. Belonging to the Impressionism art movement, the artwork measures 50.8 by 65.72 centimeters and is a landscape painting. Currently, the piece resides in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a tranquil riverside scene at Moret-sur-Loing. Showcasing the quintessential characteristics of Impressionism, Sisley employs loose brushstrokes and a delicate palette of colors, capturing the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere. The composition includes the reflective surface of the river, flanked by lush trees, and a distant view of the village bathed in sunlight under a vast, softly clouded sky. The harmonious blend of natural elements with the serene waterway evokes a sense of peace and stillness, characteristic of Sisley’s serene and contemplative interpretations of nature.
