View of Marly-le-Roi from Coeur-Volant, 1876

            Alfred Sisley (English, 1839–1899)

For a few years in the mid-1870s, Sisley lived in Marly-le-Roi, a town just west of Paris. He painted numerous views of his surroundings: the grounds of Louis XIV's former estate, local paths and roads, and the nearby Seine. For this painting, which was included in the third Impressionist exhibition, in 1877, Sisley simply walked up the hill from his rented house and selected a northwest view overlooking the town. The building at left was located within the border of neighboring Louveciennes. The lush, manicured grounds to the right of the path belonged to a more extensive property in Marly-le-Roi owned by Robert Le Lubez, an amateur singer and patron of contemporary composers such as Charles-François Gounod and Camille Saint-Saëns.
