## Image Caption

An 1874 oil on canvas, *The Regatta at Molesey*, by [Alfred Sisley](https://www.worldhistory.org/Alfred_Sisley/) (1839-1899), the Franco-British impressionist painter. Painted at Molesey near Hampton Court, Sisley here captures the impression of flags caught in a breeze. The artist wrote, "These effects of light which have an almost material expression in nature must be rendered in material fashion on the canvas" (Howard, 87). (Musée d'Orsay, [Paris](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/paris/))
