Alfred Sisley

Alfred Sisley was a British-born painter who became a prominent figure in the Impressionist movement in France during the late 19th century. Born in 1839, he is known for his landscapes that capture the effects of light and atmosphere. Unlike some of his contemporaries, Sisley focused primarily on outdoor scenes, often depicting rivers, fields, and rural life, showcasing a palette of soft colors. His work emphasizes natural beauty and the fleeting moments of everyday life. Despite struggling for recognition during his lifetime, Sisley is now celebrated for his contributions to Impressionism and his masterful depiction of nature.
