“The Road from Hampton Court,” an oil on canvas artwork created by Alfred Sisley in 1874, epitomizes the Impressionist movement. Measuring 39 by 55.5 centimeters, this landscape painting is housed in the Neue Pinakothek in Munich, Germany.
The artwork portrays a tranquil rural scene with a sandy road leading to a distant red house that stands prominently amidst lush greenery. On each side of the road, foliage flourishes, creating a sense of depth and perspective, while scattered figures stroll leisurely along the path. To the right, a calm river reflects the light of the sky above, which is painted in soft, diffused strokes with varying hues of pale blue and warm tones, characteristic of Sisley’s Impressionist style. The meticulous blending of colors and light conveys both the serenity and natural beauty of this picturesque landscape.
