Alfred Sisley

British, Paris 1839–1899 Moret-sur-Loing

Alfred Sisley, a British painter born in Paris and long associated with French Impressionism, devoted his brush to rivers, bridges, meadows, and the changing light of the Île-de-France. His landscapes, built from broken colour and loose, responsive handling, record the quiet rhythms of roads and waterways around towns such as Moret and Villeneuve-la-Garenne. This collection brings together nine of his works, chiefly oils on canvas alongside a pastel and a group of drawings in graphite and coloured crayon, with impressions up to 1895.
