The artwork, titled “View of Marly le Roi from House at Coeur Colant”, is a masterful piece by Alfred Sisley, created in 1876. It is an oil painting on canvas, conforming to the Impressionist movement, with dimensions of 65 x 92 cm. This landscape genre painting is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Met) in New York City, NY, US.
The artwork portrays a serene and picturesque view of Marly le Roi, observed from a quaint house at Coeur Colant. On the left side, an intricately designed house adorned with distinct architectural features sits amidst lush surroundings. The path leading away from the house meanders through a sunlit landscape, interspersed with autumnal trees exhibiting a palette of rich oranges, yellows, and browns. The sky above is a vivid blue, dappled with soft clouds, suggesting a clear and pleasant day. The use of light and color in the artwork captures the transient beauty of the scene with a characteristic Impressionist touch.
