The artwork titled “View of the Thames Charing Cross Bridge” was created by Alfred Sisley in 1874. It is an oil painting on canvas, measuring 33 x 46 cm, and is part of the Impressionism art movement. This landscape painting is currently housed at the National Gallery in London, UK.
Depicting a view of the River Thames with Charing Cross Bridge in the background, the artwork captures the essence of a bustling riverside scene through subtle yet expressive brushstrokes. Boats and barges animate the water, while the indistinct forms of buildings and landmarks add depth and context to the cityscape. The use of gentle, muted colors conveys a sense of atmospheric light and movement, characteristic of the Impressionist style. The overall composition suggests a momentary glimpse into the daily life along the Thames, rendering a dynamic interaction between the natural and built environments.
