"Flood at Port-Marly" is a notable series of oil paintings by Alfred Sisley, created during 1872 and 1876. These landscape works depict the aftermath of flooding in Port-Marly, capturing the reflective water, swollen riverbanks, and the quiet, moody atmosphere characteristic of Impressionism. Executed on canvas, Sisley's brushwork emphasizes light and movement, conveying the transient beauty of nature. The 1876 series prominently features two paintings housed in the Musée d'Orsay and the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rouen, exemplifying the artist’s mastery in portraying natural phenomena with a sophisticated, impressionistic approach.
