Autumn: Banks of the Seine near Bougival by Alfred Sisley
Alfred Sisley , whose paintingAutumn : bank of the Seine near Bougival was completed in 1873 , was a dedicated plein airImpressionistpainter . InAutumn : coin bank of the Seine near Bougival , Sisley uses color to communicate autumn . The stria of trees along the shoreline are afire with russet - red leaves . The reflection of this color on the pee is only slenderly muted , contrasting with the pale blue water that recapitulate the color of the sky . Jean Prouvaire , a critic who admitted to only modest wonder of Sisley ’s work , foundAutumn : bank of the Seine near Bougivalsuperior to other landscape in the exposition .
