Description: | Signed: yes Description: The view was probably painted from the window of Sisley's apartment on the Avenue de l'Abreuvoir. Despite the title, July 14, the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille, did not become a national holiday until 1880. Sisley used broad brushstrokes to capture light and movement. The painting of such everyday scenes en plein air reflects the French Impressionist philosophy that was emerging in the 1870s through the works of the artist's friends Monet and Renoir, as well as Sisley himself. | Subjects: | townscape; place (Marly); figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Sisley, Alfred (French and British painter, 1839-1899) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8851... | Go to resource |
