Alfred Sisley painted "The Seine at Suresnes" in 1877, while the Impressionists were still fighting to be taken seriously. He spent much of that decade along the Seine, studying the soft grey light of northern France. Here, the sky takes over almost the whole painting. Clouds move heavily above the river, while a small boat sits quietly on the water. Monet and Renoir became famous. Sisley remained in the background for most of his life. This painting is a reason to look again. Quelle: meisterdrucke.com
