Misty Morning by Alfred Sisley
Fog, Voisins; 1874 (20 Kb); Musie d'Orsay, Paris On the whole the Impressionists tended to favor the clear light of day rather than mistiness and this would generally apply to the work of Sisley but here is an exception in which he attains an exquisite result http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/sisley/misty/ -
The Bridge at Argenteuil by Claude Monet
Oil on canvas, 60 x 80 cm; Louvre, Paris Whereas Manet gained effect by sparkling accents standing out against low tones in his open-air pictures, Monet worked out the equation of light and colour more comprehensively and in more variety. In The Bridge at Argenteuil the equivalence is complete, the glow of light produced by pure and unmixed colour pervades the canvas and surrounds the forms appearing in it. http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/monet/later/argenteuil/ -
