Responses and several photographs were provided by the deputy mayor, Jacques G. (See Berson 1996.) Katharine Baetjer 2020 In 1979, Anne Wagner wrote from the Department of European Paintings to the mayor of Louveciennes concerning the subject, which was then unidentified. Provenance: This work, representing an atypical subject for Sisley, has been identified as the painting included in the third Impressionist exhibition of 1877, as Le Chalet: gelée blanche ( The Chalet: Hard Frost), lent by Monsieur H., which was sold in 1878, as Chalet dans un parc ( Chalet in a Park), by the Impressionist enthusiast Ernest Hoschedé. ![]() The sky, lighter toward the horizon, is loosely indicated in various soft blues with wisps of white cloud. Other than the colors used for the house, the palette comprises a wide variety of pastel tones applied in innumerable small, variegated strokes. The leafless tree at the center of a round flower bed and the yellow foliage behind suggest that the season is late autumn. The plantings were set out on an extensive property which had been assembled not long before by a local entrepreneur, Grégoire Le Lubez, and was then owned by Robert Le Lubez, an amateur singer and a patron of contemporary composers Charles-François Gounod and Camile Saint-Saëns. The Painting: In the elaborate formal garden to the right, bedding plants are laid out in swathes of blue and lavender with pathways between. Chairs and potted plants are set out on the gravel in front, where a small child in a smock amuses himself with a wheelbarrow and a hobbyhorse and wagon. The small, elaborately decorated chalet-style building with a balcony would have been quite new at the time. The house and garden are two separate properties divided by a road. Near the entrance to the former royal property is Coeur-Volant (named for a street which climbs the opposite side of the hill from the neighboring village of Louveciennes), which offers this distant view. The town had grown up to support the Château de Marly, a palace that Louis XIV had built high above the river, and while the buildings had been torn down in 1806, what had been an enormous park with waterworks remained. Topography: In 1876, Sisley and his family were established in Marly-le-Roi, which is located on a hillside above the small port of Marly, on the Seine near Paris. ![]()
