Painted near the picturesque town of moret, cabanes au bord du canal loing, effet de soleil combines the artist's favorite subjects: the beautiful nature of the river and makeshift architecture one finds along its banks. In the last decade of his life, the tranquil setting inspired some of sisley’s most elegant compositions. Sisley was fascinated by the river loing and painted its multi-arched bridge lined with mills from several viewpoints. In the present work he captures the shifting effect of sunlight and shadows on a bright summer day in a delicate range of peach, blue, green and purple tones. Object Type: painting. Date: 1896.
