Sisley painted this work in 1875, a year after the First Impressionist Exhibition introduced a wide public to the revolutionary formal vocabulary of this new modern movement.⠀ .⠀ The rare vertical format of 'Le chemin montant' lends itself to Sisley's use of interlocking planes, which the artist uses to delineate the composition into distinct vertical bands: the rich ochre soil, a verdant field, the homes dotting the horizon line and the cloud-dappled sky. Sisley has adopted a lush tonal palette, layering the rich browns of the soil beneath the vibrant grass.⠀ .⠀ Alfred Sisley (1839-1899), 'Le chemin montant,' 1875.
