The Flood at Port Marly is a 1888 oil by Alfred Sisley, a Impressionism work, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
This painting depicts a flooded landscape with a few buildings in the background. In the foreground, a small boat is tied to a tree, and the water level is high, almost reaching the bottom of the trees. The sky above is gray and cloudy. The scene is tranquil, with no signs of human activity or panic. The artist's use of muted colors adds to the sense of calmness. The focus is on the natural scene, with the buildings in the background serving as a subtle reminder of human presence.
