The Loire is a 1896 oil by Alfred Sisley, a Impressionism work, depicting Seine, held at Art Institute of Chicago.
The painting shows a serene landscape with a river and trees. It's a calm scene with soft colors. The artist used simple brushstrokes to create this peaceful view. The painting is interesting because it shows the artist's focus on light and color. The way the light reflects on the water is particularly notable. To learn more about this style, look up the technique of glazing.
