About
Alfred Sisley (1839-1899) is one of our favourite British Impressionists who in fact lived and worked principally in France, staying for a long time along the banks of the Seine where he painted the most exquisitely beautiful watercolours in all seasons, light reflecting on water, trees, clouds, boats, woodlands, riverside houses, country paths, the aqueduct at Marly; and in Britain a view of the Thames from Charing Cross Bridge, an Inn at Molesey and Hampton Court Bridge, bell towers and winter scenes and children at their lessons in period costume.
In 1874 with Monet, Renoir, Pissarro, Degas and Berthe Morisot, he founded a society of painters, artists and sculptors and took part in the first three exhibitions of the new Impressionists. His great fame and popularity came after his death. Sisley always began his paintings with the sky, which might occupy most of the canvas, with its expanse of blue crossed by a filmy skein of ragged clouds leading our gaze towards the distant horizon, almost to infinity. This is a gorgeous compact square sized Konemann publication, 215pp, colour throughout and extended captions and text in English, French and German.
