Description: | Signed: yes Description: In the 1880s Sisley chose to paint in and around the barge-port of Saint-Mammès, at the confluence of the River Loing with the Seine. He painted more than one hundred pictures of the village. In the foreground we see a boatyard and can just make out a large brown barge making its was down the river. Sisley rarely makes the activity of the work the subject of his landscapes. Instead - as here- he captures the homely quality of the scene, enlivening it by including some tiny figures. | Subjects: | landscape; place (Saint-Mammès); trade and industry | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Sisley, Alfred (French and British painter, 1839-1899) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8802... | Go to resource |
