Alfred Sisley (1839–1899) was an English-born Impressionist painter who spent much of his life in France and became a prominent figure within the Impressionist movement. He was born in Paris to British parents and retained British citizenship throughout his life. Sisley's family sent him to London to study business, but he soon abandoned that pursuit to pursue his passion for art.Sisley became associated with the Impressionist movement in the 1860s and formed close friendships with fellow Impressionist painters, including Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Frédéric Bazille. Like his contemporaries, Sisley sought to capture the effects of light and atmosphere in his paintings, often depicting landscapes, river scenes, and cityscapes.One of Sisley's notable contributions to Impressionism was his focus on the changing effects of weather and light on the natural world. His works often featured scenes along the Seine River, particularly in and around the town of Moret-sur-Loing.Some well-known paintings by Alfred Sisley include "Snow at Louveciennes," "The Bridge at Moret-sur-Loing," and "Flood at Port-Marly." Despite facing financial struggles during his lifetime, Sisley's contributions to the Impressionist movement are now recognized and appreciated, and his works are displayed in major art museums around the world.
