From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Canal Seen by Morning Light (Le canal: Effet du matin) is a 1874 ink by Alphonse Legros, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a serene landscape with a canal in the foreground. The canal is depicted in a soft, dreamy light, with trees and bushes lining its banks. The scene is peaceful, with no signs of human activity. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere in the painting. The soft, feathery brushstrokes add to the dreamy quality of the scene. The National Gallery of Art, Washington, holds this beautiful piece.
Alphonse Legros (French pronunciation: ; 8 May 1837 – 8 December 1911) was a French, later British, painter, etcher, sculptor, and medallist.
