A Calming Landscape by Sisley

A Bend in the River Loing, an oil on canvas painting by Alfred Sisley, 1896. ⁠ ⁠ Sisley was a an Impressionist landscape painter born in Paris to British parents. He consistently painted landscapes, and always did so outdoors, or 'en plein air'. He produced a number of magnificent works over his career, including a series of paintings of the Thames, scenes of the Seine and places near Moret-sur-Loing, like this work.⁠ ⁠ Inspired by other Impressionist artists such as Pissarro and Manet, his landscapes are characterised by pale, muted colour palates and a sense of calm and tranquility.

petite géographie poétique de la France, les bassins

le Loing est une rivière de France, affluent de la Seine, dont le cours s’allonge sur 143 kilomètres, traversant l’Yonne, le Loiret et la Seine-et-Marne ; il prend sa source dans le village au nom enchanteur de Treigny-Perreuse-Sainte-Colombe et arrose au-delà, et la Puisaye et le Gatinais, dont il constitue l’épine dorsale ; il irrigue entre autres Saint Fargeau, Châtillon-Coligny, Montargis, Nemours et Moret-Loing-et-Orvanne (peu avant son grand départ pour la Seine)

de Loing en Loing se rapproche et s’unifie toute une terre irriguée par ses détours et ses lenteurs, ses ralentis et ses miroirs, ses ombres secrètes et ses rives d’arbres denses  

les rivières associent des régions qui sans elles n'auraient jamais connu une telle proximité, un tel embrassement, union magnifique et imaginaire qui prend naissance dans la seule et juste évocation de leur nom

ce Loing qui ici me le chantait avec douceur et bienveillance  

--

a brief poetic geography of the France, rivers

the Loing is a river in France, a tributary of the Seine, which flows for 143 kilometers, crossing the Yonne, Loiret, and Seine-et-Marne departments; it rises in the enchantingly named village of Treigny-Perreuse-Sainte-Colombe and flows beyond, through Puisaye and Gatinais, forming the backbone of these regions; among other places, it irrigates Saint Fargeau, Châtillon-Coligny, Montargis, Nemours, and Moret-Loing-et-Orvanne. (shortly before its grand departure for the Seine)

from Loing to Loing, it brings together and unifies a whole land irrigated by its twists and turns, its slowness and its mirrors, its secret shadows and its dense tree-lined banks.  

rivers connect regions that without them would never have known such closeness, such an embrace, a magnificent and imaginary union that arises from the mere mention of their names

this Loing that sang to me here with gentleness and kindness
