Sisley: Road at the Edge of the Woods

Road at the Edge of the Woods (1883; Louvre, Paris) is typical of the art of Alfred Sisley, a French impressionist landscape painter of English ancestry. The thinly painted surface and juxtaposed small flecks of pure color give the work its quality of shimmering movement. (Giraudon/Art Resource, NY)
