Alfred Sisley

Alfred Sisley (October 30, 1839 - January 29, 1899) was a French impressionist landscape painter. He became friends with Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Edouard Manet.

Early life

Sisley was born in Paris to British parents, William Sisley and Felicia nee Sell. In the early 1860s he became a student in the atelier of Marc-Charles-Gabriel Gleyre, where he became acquainted with Frederic Bazille, Claude Monet and Renoir. Unlike some of his fellow students, who suffered financial hardships, Sisley recieved an allowance from his father. Sisley's student works are lost; his earliest known work, "Lane near a Small Town" is believed to have been painted around 1864.

Family Life

In the late 1860s, he entered into a relationship with Eugenie Lescouezec, with whom he had two children. This relationship continued for over 30 years, ending with her death a few months before Sisley's death in 1899.

Well-Known Works

Among Sisley's best known works are Street in Moret and Sand Heaps, both owned by the Art Institute of Chicago (as of 2003), and The Bridge at Moret-sur-Loing (1893, Muse d'Orsay, Paris). Sisley died in Moret-sur-Loing at the age of 59.
