<div>Alfred Sisley’s Cavalier en lisière de forêt (Horseman on the Edge of the Forest), from 1875, is a luminous painting depicting a tranquil road near Marly-le-Roi, where Sisley found creative renewal after moving from Paris’s Batignolles quarter. This work, included in the 2021 catalogue raisonné of the work of Alfred Sisley prepared by Francois Daulte with Galerie Brame & Lorenceau and the Comité Alfred Sisley as no.196, showcases his unrivaled commitment to plein-air painting, even compared to Impressionist peers like Monet and Pissarro. Likely executed entirely outdoors, it captures the immediacy of a summer morning with feathery brushstrokes of muted greens, ochres, and blues, rendering a path winding into a forest, a lone horseman, and two figures—one with a parasol. </div><br><br><div> </div><br><br><div>Sisley’s move to Marly-le-Roi, driven by a love for greenery and the need to support his young family amid financial strain post-Franco-Prussian War, shaped this work. Painted after the 1874 Impressionist exhibition’s disappointing sales, it reflects resilience. The diffused light and geometric composition—path and trees anchoring a vast sky—evoke the region’s gentle haze. Camille Pissarro, a close colleague, hailed Sisley as “a great and beautiful artist, in my opinion he is a master equal to the greatest” (Pissarro, quoted in C. Lloyd, ‘Alfred Sisley and the Purity of Vision’, pp. 5-33, M. Stevens (ed.), Alfred Sisley, exh. cat., New Haven and London, 1992, p. 8). The 2021 Brame and Lorenceau catalogue notes 360 of Sisley’s 1,013 oil paintings reside in museums, affirming his legacy. </div><br><br><div> </div><br><br><div>This concise yet evocative piece offers collectors a rare glimpse into Sisley’s mastery, blending nature’s beauty with Impressionist innovation. </div> <div>Alfred Sisley’s Cavalier en lisière de forêt (Horseman on the Edge of the Forest), from 1875, is a luminous painting depicting a tranquil road near Marly-le-Roi, where Sisley found creative renewal after moving from Paris’s Batignolles quarter.

"פרש בקצה היער" (Cavalier en lisière de forêt) מאת אלפרד סיסלי, משנת 1875, הוא ציור זוהר המתאר דרך שלווה ליד מרלי-לה-רואה, שם סיסלי מצא התחדשות יצירתית לאחר שעבר מרובע בטיניול בפריז. יצירה זו, שנכללה בקטלוג רייסון של עבודותיו של אלפרד סיסלי לשנת 2021, שהוכן על ידי פרנסואה דולטה יחד עם גלרי בראם ולורנסו והוועד אלפרד סיסלי כמספר 196, מציגה את מחויבותו חסרת התקדים לציור פליין-אוויר, אפילו בהשוואה לעמיתיו האימפרסיוניסטים כמו מונה ופיסארו. יצירה זו, שנעשתה ככל הנראה כולה בחוץ, לוכדת את המיידיות של בוקר קיץ עם משיכות מכחול נוצות של ירוקים, אוקר וכחולים עמומים, ומציגה שביל המתפתל לתוך יער, פרש בודד ושתי דמויות - אחת עם שמשייה.





מעברו של סיסלי למארלי-לה-רואה, מונע מאהבה לירק והצורך לפרנס את משפחתו הצעירה על רקע קשיים כלכליים לאחר מלחמת צרפת-פרוסיה, עיצבו את היצירה הזו. הציור, שצויר לאחר המכירות המאכזבות של התערוכה האימפרסיוניסטית משנת 1874, משקף חוסן. האור המפוזר והקומפוזיציה הגיאומטרית - שביל ועצים המעגנים שמיים עצומים - מעוררים את הערפל העדין של האזור. קמיל פיסארו, עמית קרוב, שיבח את סיסלי כ"אמן גדול ויפהפה, לדעתי הוא אמן שווה ערך לגדולים" (פיסארו, מצוטט אצל C. Lloyd, 'Alfred Sisley and the Purity of Vision', עמ' 5-33, M. Stevens (עורך), Alfred Sisley, exh. cat., New Haven and London, 1992, עמ' 8). קטלוג Brame and Lorenceau משנת 2021 מציין כי 360 מתוך 1,013 ציורי השמן של סיסלי נמצאים במוזיאונים, ומאשרים את מורשתו.





יצירה תמציתית אך מעוררת השראה זו מציעה לאספנים הצצה נדירה למיומנותה של סיסלי, המשלבת את יופיו של הטבע עם חדשנות אימפרסיוניסטית.
