Alfred Sisley
The Canal Saint-Martin
From $100
This painting is warm stone, green trees and a lively blue sky, and a dull copy flattens the light. Our Sisley Aqueduct at Marly print was graded beside the original so the sky stays fresh, the stone stays warm and the shadows stay clear.
Canvas, framed or paper
Stretched canvas. Printed on cotton canvas and stretched taut over a frame. The edges are mirror-wrapped, so the picture continues around the sides and none of it is lost to the fold.
Framed canvas. The same canvas, set in a black, white, natural wood or dark wood frame 0.83 in deep. The frame gives the work a finished edge and a little more presence on the wall.
Framed print. Printed on fine art matte paper and framed in solid pine, behind shatterproof plexiglass, in black, white, natural wood or dark wood. It arrives ready to hang. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame.
Fine art print. Printed on 310gsm fine art matte paper, for framing your own way. It travels rolled and protected. From 18x24 inch.
Sizes
18x12 inch, 24x16 inch, 30x20 inch, 36x24 inch. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.
On your wall
Its wide shape suits a living room, a hallway or the wall above a sofa. The warm stone and greens look calm with cream, sage and natural wood, and a natural or gold frame suits it.
About the painting
The Aqueduct at Marly by Alfred Sisley
Louveciennes, 1874
When war broke out in 1870, Alfred Sisley, British by birth, could not fight. He took refuge at Louveciennes, and the Prussians later ransacked his studio there.
A royal ruin
The aqueduct had been built in the 1600s, a reminder of the region’s royal past, and had stopped working in 1866. During the war, Prussian artillery stood on its eastern tower, on the right of this picture. Sisley painted it from three different angles.
Impressionism
Durand-Ruel bought this one from him in 1876. It belongs to the Toledo Museum of Art, the gift of Edward Libbey.
Read the story
During the war, there were Prussian guns on top of this aqueduct.
It's also called The Aqueduct at Louveciennes.
When war broke out in 1870, Alfred Sisley, British by birth, couldn't fight. He took refuge at Louveciennes. And the Prussians ransacked his studio.
Few of his early paintings survive.
The aqueduct had been built in the 1600s, a reminder of the region's royal past. By 1866 it had stopped working.
In the war, Prussian artillery stood on its eastern tower, on the right of this picture.
In 1874, Sisley painted the old arches above a sunny road, with a rider passing below.
He painted it from three different angles.
The dealer Paul Durand-Ruel bought it from him in 1876. Today it belongs to the Toledo Museum of Art, the gift of Edward Libbey.
Look at the arches, and then at the tower on the right.

Questions
Is this the original painting?
No. The original hangs in a museum. What you receive is a fine art reproduction, remastered from the original and printed for you, with every mark where the artist left it.
Will the colour look flat?
This is where most reproductions disappoint, and it is where we spend the most time. Each work is graded side by side with the original: faithful to the artist’s colours, with the depth and warmth brought back, so it moves you on the wall the way it was meant to. Canvas reads a touch softer than a backlit screen, and every screen shows colour a little differently.
Will the edges be cropped?
Each size is a standard frame size, so we fit the painting by trimming a little from its edges. We never stretch or squash it, and we check every size by eye so no face, figure or signature is cut. On canvas the edges are mirror-wrapped, which keeps the whole picture on the front.
Which size is right for my wall?
Aim for about two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. Over a sofa or a sideboard, one of the two largest sizes will hold the wall. The size guide lists every size in inches and centimetres, with the kind of wall each one suits.
How long does it take?
Your piece is printed in 1–3 business days, then spends 5–12 business days in transit, tracked all the way. Delivery is free anywhere in the US. We are unable to deliver to PO boxes.
What if it arrives damaged?
Send us a photograph and we will remake it and send it again. There is nothing to return.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 30 days of delivery. Our returns policy has the details.
