ALFRED SISLEY. The Bridge at Villeneuve-la-Garenne

The Bridge at Villeneuve-la-Garenne. Artist: Alfred Sisley (British, Paris 1839-1899 Moret-sur-Loing). Dimensions: 19 1/2 x 25 3/4 in. (49.5 x 65.4 cm). Date: 1872.

Recently built, state-of-the-art bridges, emblematic of modernity, appear in a number of Sisley's paintings of the 1870s and early 1880s. This close-up, dramatically angled view depicts the cast-iron and stone suspension bridge that was constructed in 1844 to connect the village of Villeneuve-la-Garenne with the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis. Sisley enlivened the scene by showing holidaymakers on the Seine and along the riverbank. Flat strokes of high-keyed color convey the fleeting effect of sunlight on the water.
