See also: Impressionism VIEW IMAGE LIST The landscape paintings of Alfred Sisley occupy an inviolable position in the history of early Impressionism. His depictions of the Thames at Hampton Court, the Seine in flood, the snow bound suburbs of Paris are indispensable to an account of Impressionist landscape painting in the 1870s. Indeed, they are so fundamentally representative of our notion of what constitutes 'pure' Impressionism, that the re-evaluation of the movement in recent years has often left Sisley stranded outside it. This has greatly added to the comparative neglect of his work. He is famous but not known, admired but little studied. Many accounts of Impressionism treat him perfunctorily; assessments run on the comfortable premise that he was a marvellous painter for two or three years but became a victim of his style and collapsed into an irreversible decline. ... While there can be little doubt that the best paintings were made in the 1870s, there are vigorous and beautiful works from the years that followed. Other reasons exist for Sisley's shadowy reputation. Most obviously, his output appears less substantial and less clearly directed than that of his associates -

Biography:

Born into an English family living in Paris, Alfred Sisley received his training in Paris, strongly influenced by Corot. In 1862, he studied under Charles Gleyre alongside fellow Impressionists Monet and Renoir. The three students traveled and exhibited together as strong leaders of the movement. Sisley often painted landscapes of the Sienne, Loire, and the Thames Rivers and focused on light in the clouds and reflections. Because of his lack of salesmanship, Sisley’s work did not sell and was not appreciated until after his death. As a result, he spent the end of his life in poverty.

Alfred Sisley
Cenni biografici
Alfred Sisley nasce a Parigi nel 1839.
Stanco della situazione, nel 1861 Sisley torna a Parigi, deciso a dedicarsi all'arte.
Per sua fortuna la famiglia lo asseconda nelle sue incinazioni artistiche, assicurandogli appoggio morale e finanziario. Sisley inizia a frequentare i corsi nell'atelier di Charles Gleyre
Lavora spesso all'aperto, a Fontainebleau, Chailly e Marlotte. Una pratica che diventa predominante dopo la chiusura dello studio di Gleyre, avvenuta nel 1864.
Nel 1866 sposa Marie Lescouezec, dalla quale l'anno successivo ha un figlio.
Negli anni che precedono la guerra franco-prussiana Alfred Sisley intensifica il sodalizio artistico con Renoir, Monet e Bazille. Con loro frequenta assiduamente il , ritrovo di altri giovani artisti attorno alla figura carismatica di Edouard Manet.
Nel 1869 affitta una casa a Louveciennes, dove nasce un secondo figlio. Qui trascorre il periodo della guerra e dei drammatici fatti che seguono, dipingendo spesso con Renoir. Le conseguenze della guerra franco-prussiana si abbattono pesantemente sulla vita di tutti gli artisti. Ma a farne le spese sono soprattutto Bazille, che muore al fronte, e Sisley.

    biography Alfred Sisley was born on the 30th October 1839, in Paris, France. His parents were English. Of the artists who exhibited at the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874, it was Alfred Sisley who was the purest landscape painter. In an oeuvre of almost 900 oil paintings he produced less than a dozen still lifes and only one or two genre scenes. All of his remaining works are landscapes, and throughout his career he favored the same kind of environment whether in the forest of Fontainebleau, in Louveciennes, London, Moret, or Wales. His works tend to be calm with little attention paid to cityscapes or recent industrialization. They are often devoid of people, any figures or staffage in them being used as compositional devices or perhaps narrative elements rather than as a means of representing a humanized landscape. Avenue of Chestnut Trees near La Celle Saint-Cloud (Southampton), demonstrates an acquaintance with the soft tonality of Corot and the dramatic massing of Courbet, both of whom were to remain influential.

Alfred Sisley
Photographié en 1882, Archives Durand-Ruel, Paris The son of a rich British businessman established in Paris, Alfred Sisley, became a painter, in spite of his parents' opposition. Beginning his apprenticeship in Gleyre's studio in 1862, he met there Renoir, Bazille and Monet, who were instrumental in his development towards a clearer style of painting. Fascinated at once by the study of nature and the spectacle of the street, Sisley renounced the depiction of purely urban scenes, following his friends in the forest. He first lived in Louveciennes and Marly-le-Roi, west of Paris, and later in Moret-sur-Loing, close to Fontainebleau. A follower of Corot in his refined and sensitive palette, Sisley was in a way the chronicler of life in the countryside, exelling in depicting with accuracy its atmosphere.
While accepted in 1866, Sisley was refused at the Salon in the following years. He took part in the first three Impressionist exhibitions, but remained the unlucky one of the group and never received as much praise as his fellow painters. He participated in several important exhibitions held by leading art galleries, but encountered commercial success only after his death, when he was at last recognized as one of the great Impressionist Masters. Over his lifetime, he executed almost 900 oil paintings, mainly landscapes, revealing his fascination for skies, snow and the effects of light in general. The early works, in the pure tradition of 'L'Ecole de Barbizon', rarely integrated figures or busy city settings. Later, they reflected the serene and undisturbed atmosphere of French countryside. Today his paintings remain a source of delight, suggesting such adjectives as gentle, idyllic, timeless, wistful or harmonious.
