Chemin de By au bois des Roches-Courtaut, été de la St Martin is a 1891 oil by Alfred Sisley, a Impressionism work, held at Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
The painting depicts a serene landscape with a river, possibly the Seine, flowing through it. The river is flanked by trees and bushes on either side, with a few buildings visible in the distance. The sky above is a soft, pale blue with wispy clouds. In the foreground, the trees and bushes are rendered in warm, golden hues, while the river reflects the pale blue of the sky. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of movement and energy. The overall effect is one of tranquility and calm, inviting the viewer to step into the peaceful world of the painting.
