Landscape: Snow Scene, 1891 Alfred Sisley (1839-1899)

We create our paintings with museum quality and covering the highest academic standards. Once we get your order, it will be entirely hand-painted with oil on canvas. All the materials we use are the highest level, being totally artist graded painting materials and linen canvas.

We will add 1.6" (4 cm) additional blank canvas all over the painting for stretching.

High quality and detailing in every inch are time consuming. The reproduction of Alfred Sisley also needs time to dry in order to be completely ready for shipping, as this is crucial to not be damaged during transportation.
Based on the size, level of detail and complexity we need 8-9 weeks to complete the process.

In case the delivery date needs to be extended in time, or we are overloaded with requests, there will be an email sent to you sharing the new timelines of production and delivery.

TOPofART wants to remind you to keep patient, in order to get you the highest quality, being our mission to fulfill your expectations.

We not stretch and frame our oil paintings due to several reasons:
Painting reproduction is a high quality expensive product, which we cannot risk to damage by sending it being stretched.
Also, there are postal restrictions, regarding the size of the shipment.
Additionally, due to the dimensions of the stretched canvas, the shipment price may exceed the price of the product itself.

You can stretch and frame your painting in your local frame-shop.

Once the painting Landscape: Snow Scene is ready and dry, it will be shipped to your delivery address. The canvas will be rolled-up in a secure postal tube.

We offer free shipping as well as paid express transportation services.

After adding your artwork to the shopping cart, you will be able to check the delivery price using the Estimate Shipping and Tax tool.

The paintings we create are only of museum quality. Our academy graduated artists will never allow a compromise in the quality and detail of the ordered painting. TOPofART do not work, and will never allow ourselves to work with low quality studios from the Far East. We are based in Europe, and quality is our highest priority.

In "The Loing and the Mills of Moret, Snow Effect," Alfred Sisley captures the quiet beauty of a winter’s day with a delicacy that only the Impressionists could master. The painting immerses us in a world of cool light, where the air feels crisp and the landscape is softened under a blanket of snow. Sisley’s brushwork is fluid and light, with each stroke carrying a sense of movement - the way the sky shimmers with wispy clouds or the way the icy river gently reflects the poplars lining its banks. There’s an immediacy here, a fleeting moment of calm that feels both vivid and serene.

Sisley’s color palette is restrained yet nuanced. The blues and silvers dominate, but they’re not harsh; they blend together softly, with the snow on the riverbank almost melting into the water itself. The poplars cast long, blue shadows across the icy ground, their slender trunks reflected in the cold, still water. Even the sky, a pale wash of blue and white, seems to mirror the snow-covered earth below, creating a sense of unity between the heavens and the frozen landscape.

The composition is balanced but understated. The mill sits quietly on the right, its roof touched with snow, while the vast expanse of the river flows towards the distant horizon. It’s an open scene, and yet, the way Sisley uses the soft horizontals of the river and trees, paired with the vertical lines of the poplars and buildings, creates a sense of structure within the tranquil chaos of nature. His technique - thin, almost watery strokes of paint - allows the scene to breathe, giving the painting an airy, weightless quality.

This isn’t a dramatic winter, full of storms or turmoil, but a peaceful one. Sisley invites us to simply stand by the riverbank, to feel the cold air, and to marvel at how light plays upon snow, water, and sky in perfect harmony.
