About the piece
Painted in 1885, Alfred Sisley’s 'The Lock of Saint-Mammès' exemplifies the Impressionist fascination with light and reflection. The composition balances the industrial activity of the river with a vast, airy sky, rendered in short, rhythmic brushstrokes that create a sense of movement and atmospheric depth typical of Sisley's mature style.
