Alfred Sisley (1839
– 1899) Impressionist landscape painter,
born in Paris of expatriate English parents (but had a French grandmother). Was
sent to London for four years to prepare for a commercial career. Then turned
to painting and
in 1862 entered the studio of Gleyre, where he met Renoir, Monet and Bazille.
He and his friends left about five months later and began to paint out of
doors, directly from nature, in the region of Paris and in the Forest of
Fontainebleau. Exhibited with the Impressionists in 1874, 1876, 1877 and 1882,
and had his first one-man exhibition at La Vie Moderne, Paris, in
1883.
After working at Louveciennes, Marly-le-Roi, Sèvres and elsewhere on the
outskirts of Paris, he settled in 1880 near Moret-sur-Loing, and painted most of his late works there. Also worked in Britain in 1874 (especially around
Hampton Court) and 1897 (the coast near Cardiff). He received little
recognition in his lifetime and from 1871, when his father was no longer able
to support him, spent much of his life in poverty. Died at Moret-sur-Loing
