# Flood at Port-Marly [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [SISLEY, Alfred]() - Date: 1851-1900 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 61 x 50 cm ## Commentary Working from a boat during a catastrophic flood in the spring of 1876, Sisley painted the corner of a wine merchant's house in the small town of Port-Marly on the banks of the Seine. Sisley's portrayal of the sky is comparable with those of the great Dutch landscape painters of the 17th century \(Jan van Goyen, Salomon van Ruysdael, Jacob van Ruisdael\). Equally influential were the works of the English painters Constable and Turner, with which he had become familiar in London. ## Related artworks - [After the Debacle, the Seine at Pont de Suresnes]() - [First Snow at Louveciennes]() - [Flood at Port-Marly]() - [Grande Rue in Argenteuil]() - [Landscape at Louveciennes]() - [Louveciennes]() - [Marketplace at Marly]() - [Mist]() - [Montmartre]() - [Moret-sur-Loing in Morning Sun]() - [On the Cliffs, Langland Bay, Wales]() - [Place du Chenil at Marly-le Roi, Snow]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
