"Flood at Port-Marly" (French: "Inondation à Port-Marly") by Alfred Sisley is a series of oil paintings created by the Impressionist artist in 1876, depicting the town of Port-Marly, France, during a period of severe flooding. The series captures the effects of the floodwaters on the small town along the Seine River, showcasing Sisley's fascination with the changing landscape and the reflective qualities of water.

Alfred Sisley (1839–1899) was a British-born French artist who, despite his British nationality, spent most of his life in France and became one of the most distinguished landscape painters of the 19th century. His work is characterized by a dedication to plein air painting, capturing the transient effects of light and atmosphere with a delicate touch and nuanced palette.

The "Flood at Port-Marly" series is particularly notable for its depiction of the natural disaster in a serene and almost poetic manner, a testament to Sisley's ability to find beauty in the everyday and the tumultuous alike. The paintings show submerged streets and houses, with reflections of the sky and trees in the calm yet pervasive waters, creating a sense of tranquility amidst the chaos of the flood.

One of the paintings from this series, "Flood at Port-Marly V," specifically captures a view of the flooded Rue de Paris, the main street in Port-Marly, with the water reaching the first floors of the buildings. The composition is balanced with a clear sky above, suggesting a moment of respite from the rain that caused the flooding. Sisley's use of light and color conveys the moisture in the air and the dampness of the scene, with the submerged architecture and boats adrift adding to the narrative of human resilience in the face of natural adversity.

"Flood at Port-Marly V" is a fine example of Sisley's contribution to the Impressionist movement, demonstrating his commitment to landscape painting and his unique approach to capturing the ephemeral qualities of light and weather. The work is held in high regard for its artistic merit and historical significance, offering insight into the environmental and societal impacts of the 19th-century floods along the Seine, as well as the aesthetic sensibilities of the time.

As with many of Sisley's paintings, "Flood at Port-Marly V" is appreciated for its technical mastery and emotional depth, making it a valuable piece within the oeuvre of Impressionist art and a subject of continued interest for art historians and enthusiasts alike.
