Based
in Marly-le-Roi from 1874 to 1877, Sisley executed a group of seven paintings
on the flooding of the Seine in March 1876. The best known of the series depict
the flood at its height, albeit expressed with a serenity and harmony more
characteristic of a tranquil lagoon than the violent waters of the Seine. In
this work from the Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection, the sun has reappeared
and the water level is going down. Sisley was thus able to set up his easel in
the middle of the street and return to the use of a central perspective found
in many of his works, a device that derives from the classical tradition of
French landscape painting. Sisley was able to give a marked emphasis to the
movement of the clouds through the use of a low horizon line. As in the work of Constable, the sky becomes the true subject of the
landscape and its reflection on the ground both unifies the composition and
increases a sense of dynamic life.
