The Church at Moret, Frosty Weather

The painting The Church at Moret, Frosty Weather, is an oil on canvas painting made by Alfred Sisley in 1893. It is currently in the collection of the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields in Indianapolis. The artwork measures 81 cm in height and 65 cm in width.

The painting depicts the church of Notre-Dame-de-la-Nativité in Moret-sur-Loing, a town located about 80 kilometers southeast of Paris. The church, built in the 12th century, is a beautiful example of Romanesque and Gothic architecture. Sisley has painted the church from a slightly elevated viewpoint, allowing the viewer to see the entire building as well as the surrounding houses and streets. The sky is a pale blue, and the air is filled with a sense of stillness. The trees are bare, and the ground is covered in a light dusting of snow, suggesting a cold winter's day.

Sisley has used a light and airy palette to capture the subtle nuances of light and shadow. The brushstrokes are loose and impressionistic, conveying a sense of movement and atmosphere. The overall effect is one of tranquility and beauty.
