- Pissarro’s landscape was painted at the dawn of the Impressionist era. Its silver light and vast expanse of sky reflect the movement’s emphasis on recording atmospheric conditions.
- While the loose Impressionist brushwork creates a rich surface texture, the composition locks road, river, sky, and field into the firm structure that is a hallmark of his style.
- Tucked into the scene are a barge, factory, smokestack, and railroad—clear signs of the growing industrialization that the Romantics and most Impressionists preferred to omit from their views of the French countryside.
