Anecdote
“Nature is the master, I am only the interpreter.” This is how Alfred Sisley might describe his art. Inspired by the majesty of a spring morning, Sisley often strolled along the banks of the Loing. It was there, in the tranquility of a sunlit alley, that he contemplated the scene that would give life to this masterpiece . He captures forever the brilliance of that moment, making the painting even more vibrant and poetic.
