In January 2014, the DAM announced the largest gift ever given to the museum. Denver-based philanthropist Frederic C. Hamilton, the museum's chairman emeritus, bequeathed 22 impressionist masterworks from his private collection to the museum.
Alfred Sisley (British, 1839-1899), Seine at Bougival, 1873. Oil paint on canvas. Collection of Frederic C. Hamilton bequeathed to the Denver Art Museum, TL-32563.
Formerly, these works were part of Nature as Muse: Impressionist Landscapes from the Frederic C. Hamilton Collection and the Denver Art Museum.
As part of the exhibition, visitors had the opportunity to view three works from the collection on level six of the North Building. Alfred Sisley's three beautiful impressionist landscapes, Seine at Bougival, Road from Veneux to Moret—Spring Day, and The Loing River and the Church at Moret-sur-Loing, are a delight whether you are revisiting them or discovering them for the first time.

This exhibition was on view through August 2014 and was included with general admission.
