  1. Alfred Sisley Alfred Sisley was born October 3oth and died January 29th he was an Impressionist landscape painter who was born and spent most of his life in France, but retained British citizenship. He was the most consistent of the Impressionists in his dedication to painting landscape.

  2. what He liked to painting He never deviated into figure painting and, unlike Renoir and Pissarro, never found that Impressionism did not fulfill his artistic needs. Among his important works are a series of paintings of the River Thames, mostly around Hampton, executed in 1874, and landscapes depicting places in or near Moret-sur-Loing.

  3. His style • His style at this time was deeply influenced by Courbet and Daubigny, and when he first exhibited at the Salon in 1867

  4. His family • In 1866 Sisley began a relationship with Eugénie Lesouezec 1834–1898; also known as Marie Lescouezec. They had two children: son Pierre born 1867 and daughter Jeanne 18691 At the time, Sisley lived not far from Avenue de Clichy and the Café Guerbois, the meeting place of many Parisian painters. In 1868 his paintings were accepted at the Salon, but it did not bring him any financial or critical success, and neither did any of the subsequent exhibitions • The Lesson

  5. The war • In 1870 the Franco-Prussian War began, and as a result Sisley's father's business failed and the painter's sole means of support became the sale of his works. For the remainder of his life he would live in poverty, as his paintings did not rise significantly in monetary value until after his death. Occasionally however Sisley would be backed by patrons; and this allowed him, among other things, to make a few brief trips to Britain

  8. The Impression movement • Alfred Sisley Affected the impression movement with fine art and printings wich Is now art history

  9. First painting • His earliest known work, Lane near a Small Town, is believed to have been painted around 1864. His first landscape

  10. What hapend to him • In 1866, two of its pictures were allowed with the Show, of which Châtaigniers at La Celle-Saint-Cloud (Museum of the Petit Palais, Paris), who testifies to the influence of Theodore Rousseau. It also exposed to the Show the two following years, before being exiled in London during the war free-Prussian of 1870. If, until 1870, date of the ruin of his father, it had rather the appearance of a painter amateur, his participation in 1874 in the first impressionist exposure placed it among the innovative painters of the time. Up to that point, its pictures revealed the combined influence of Gustave Courbet, Eugene Boudin and Camille Corot, particularly in their harmonious and soft colors. • Consequently, its technique became more vibrating, its colours more chatoyants: Sisley privileged in particular the plays of light on water (the Seine, the Thames, Saint Martin's day channel), the ciels and the fogs, or pearly subtleties of the snow-covered landscapes (Montmartre, sight taken of the city to the flowers). • This taste for the fugitive one and the transitory one made of him the type even of the artist working directly on nature: "It is necessary, said it, that the invoice, in certain moments packed, communicates to the witness the emotion that the painter felt" In 1879, it settled close to Moret, then with Moret-on-Loing in September 1897, where he passed the remainder of his life in loneliness, refusing even to take part in the last impressionist exposure in 1886
