Explore the History of this artwork.
Alfred Sisley can be distinguished from other Impressionists by his commitment to landscape painting.  In 1872, he moved his family to Louveciennes, where he painted the nearby view of the Seine Valley at St.-Germain-en-Laye.  Over the course of his career he painted nearly 900 oil paintings, which were mainly landscapes spanning from the forest of Fontainebleau and Louveciennes, London to Moret and Wales.  He would often focus on the serenity of pastoral settings.
