The Seine at Saint Mammes Impresionist

Impressionism

The story

Sticking strictly to the Impressionist motto, painting outside, en plein air, meant one hard constraint for Sisley. No landscape came to him. He had to go find it.

So he walked. Same trails, same riverbanks, day after day. Circling back again and again to catch the right spot, the right light, the right angle.

Not a Sunday stroll. A marathon.
