ALFRED SISLEY: "Chemin de la Machine, Louveciennes", 1873
If we want to look for the "pure", essential impressionist painters, such list would be reduced to only three names: Claude Monet -the real Michelangelo of the impressionist era-, Camille Pissarro -the great chronicler of the rural life- and Alfred Sisley. Sisley's paintings of the small town of Louveciennes are arguably his greatest achievements, and this simple but powerful canvas is perhaps the best of all them.
