Art by color

A Life of Artistic Devotion

Alfred Sisley, a British-French Impressionist landscape painter, lived from 1839 to 1899. His life was marked by an unwavering dedication to capturing the beauty of nature through his art.

Early Life and Training

Born in Paris on October 30, 1839, Sisley was the son of William Sisley, a silk merchant, and Felicia Sell, a music connoisseur. In 1857, at the age of 18, he was sent to London to study for a career in business but soon abandoned this path to return to Paris in 1861. From 1862, he studied under Swiss artist Marc-Charles-Gabriel Gleyre at the Paris École des Beaux-Arts, where he befriended Frédéric Bazille, Claude Monet, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

Artistic Career

Sisley's artistic career was characterized by his consistent dedication to painting landscapes en plein air. His work was initially met with rejection by the jury of the Salon, but he continued to paint, driven by his passion for capturing the transient effects of sunlight. Notable works include a series of paintings of the River Thames, executed in 1874, and landscapes depicting places in or near Moret-sur-Loing.

Alfred Sisley's power of expression and color intensity increased over the years.
His landscapes are characterized by tranquility, often in pale shades of green, pink, purple, dusty blue, and cream.
Sisley made brief trips to Britain, including a 1874 trip where he produced nearly twenty paintings of the Upper Thames near Molesey.

Later Life and Legacy

Sisley applied for French citizenship in 1897 but was refused. He died on January 29, 1899, at the age of 59, in Moret-sur-Loing. His student works are lost, but his later landscapes continue to be celebrated for their beauty and dedication to capturing the essence of nature.
