"The Blocked Seine at Port-Marly" is an oil on canvas painting by the French Impressionist artist Alfred Sisley, created in 1872. This work is one of a series that Sisley painted depicting the town of Port-Marly, located on the banks of the Seine River, northwest of Paris. The painting captures a moment during the winter of 1871-1872, which was particularly harsh, causing the Seine to freeze over—a rare occurrence that Sisley took as an opportunity to explore the effects of snow and ice on the landscape and its reflection of light.

Measuring 50 x 61 cm, the painting is a testament to Sisley's dedication to plein air painting, a hallmark of the Impressionist movement, which emphasized capturing the transient effects of light and atmosphere. In "The Blocked Seine at Port-Marly," Sisley uses a restrained palette dominated by whites and blues to convey the chill of the frozen river and the overcast winter sky. The composition is balanced with the riverbank and bare trees on the left, the expanse of ice in the center, and the houses of Port-Marly visible in the distance on the right.

Sisley's brushwork in this painting is loose and fluid, with visible brushstrokes that add texture and movement to the scene. The artist's interest in the reflections on the ice and the interaction of the natural elements is evident, as he captures the subtle variations in color and light with a delicate touch.

"The Blocked Seine at Port-Marly" is an important work within Sisley's oeuvre and the broader Impressionist canon, as it exemplifies the movement's innovative approach to landscape painting. It is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its evocative portrayal of a specific moment in time, reflecting the artist's intimate connection with his surroundings. The painting is currently housed in a notable museum collection, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and historical significance.
