ALFRED SISLEY: "L'inondation à Port-Marly", 1876

   Sisley painted several canvases depicting these floods in Port-Marly, but the two more outstanding examples are those that show the river's waters around a wine shop at Rue Paris. We can suggest a link between these paintings and the turbulent biography of their creator: it is possible that Sisley saw the floods in the quiet town of Port-Marly as a reflection of his own life: troubled and overflowed after several events as unforeseeable and inevitable as the floods of the Seine River.
