It is the view Sisley painted again and again in the 1880s and 1890s, taken here from the river bank below the bridge, the water glinting under the arches. Jean-Charles Millet (1892–1944), grandson of Jean-François Millet, lived and painted in the Barbizon country at the edge of the forest of Fontainebleau, of which Moret is the southern gate. His landscapes keep the Barbizon palette of browns, greys and dull greens, laid on broadly, with the architecture drawn in with a few firm strokes. Signed with the abbreviated form ‘J. Ch. Millet’ he used on his paintings.
