"Flood at Port-Marly" (French: "Inondation à Port-Marly") is a series of oil paintings by Alfred Sisley, a British-born French Impressionist painter known for his landscapes and depictions of suburban life. The series captures the town of Port-Marly, located on the Seine River near Paris, during the floods of 1876. Sisley lived in the area and was deeply inspired by the changing moods and effects of light on the local landscape.

The most notable work in the series, "Flood at Port-Marly I," is characterized by its serene and reflective portrayal of the floodwaters that have inundated the streets and houses of the town. Painted in 1876, the canvas measures 60 cm × 80 cm (23.6 in × 31.5 in) and is a prime example of Sisley's mastery of plein air painting, a technique favored by the Impressionists that involves painting outdoors to capture the transient effects of light and atmosphere.

In "Flood at Port-Marly I," Sisley employs a palette of soft, muted colors to convey the overcast sky and the reflections on the water's surface. The composition is balanced, with the horizon line placed near the center of the canvas, allowing for an expansive view of the sky and water. The painting is devoid of the bustling activity typical of urban scenes, instead presenting a quiet moment that invites contemplation. The subtle interplay of light and shadow, as well as the fluid brushstrokes, create a sense of movement within the stillness of the flooded landscape.

Sisley's work is often praised for its poetic interpretation of the natural world, and "Flood at Port-Marly I" is no exception. It captures the essence of the Impressionist movement's focus on the perception of the moment, emphasizing the sensory experience over the narrative content. The painting is held in high regard for its technical execution, emotional depth, and its ability to transport the viewer to the tranquil yet somber scene of the flood.

"Flood at Port-Marly I" is part of a larger body of work that reflects Sisley's fascination with water and its effects on the environment. The painting is considered one of the highlights of his career and is a significant contribution to the Impressionist movement. It is housed in a prestigious art collection, continuing to be admired for its historical significance and aesthetic beauty.
