Banks of the Loire (Bord de la Loire) is a 1874 ink by Alphonse Legros, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a serene landscape with a river winding through it. The scene is set against a backdrop of trees and hills, with a few buildings visible in the distance. The artist has used a range of colors to capture the play of light on the water and the surrounding foliage. One interesting detail in the painting is the way the artist has used the trees to frame the composition, creating a sense of depth and perspective. The use of color and light also adds to the overall sense of tranquility and calm.
