Did you know?
Alfred Sisley, unlike many of his fellow Impressionists who moved toward more avant-garde styles, remained steadfastly committed to the tenets of Impressionism throughout his career. He was particularly captivated by the village of Moret-sur-Loing, where he lived during his final years and painted numerous iterations of this same bridge under different weather conditions and times of day, much like his contemporary Claude Monet did with his cathedral series.
