The River Bank at Saint-Mammes
by SISLEY, Alfred, Oil on canvas, 50 x 65 cm
Almost without striving for the effects of airiness, transience, and translucency made fashionable by the Impressionists, without concerning himself about a specific subject, Sisley juxtaposes dense, resonant colours. In so doing, he constructs a bridge to the decorativeness of Pierre Bonnard and Edouard Vuillard.
