Sisley was particularly adept at capturing the changing effects of light and atmosphere, and "Église de Moret" is a remarkable example.
The artist used soft colors and a delicate brush technique to pay homage to the beauty of nature and the French countryside. “Church of Moret” is a perfect illustration of the impressionist approach, which sought to capture the immediacy and emotion of a specific moment.
