Presentation

His/her parents are called William Sisley and Felicia Sell. Of a musician family he prefers to intend himself for painting rather than for the trade. He enters in 1862 to the workshop of Gleyre where he became acquainted with Renoir, Monet and Bazille. The four friends left the workshop of the Master as of March 1863 to work in the open air and plant their rest in the forest of Fontainebleau.

Sisley inlassablement chooses for subject of its fabrics the sky and water animated by the changing reflections of the light in its landscapes of the surroundings of Paris, the area of Louveciennes and Marly-the-King. It falls under the line of Constable, Bonington and Turner. If it is subject to the influence of Monet, it moves away from his friend by his will of construction which makes him respect the structure of the forms.

Being sensitive to the flow seasons, he liked to translate spring with the orchards into flowers; but it was the winter and snow-covered countryside which particularly attracted Sisley whose reserved temperament preferred the mystery and silence with the glare of the sunny landscapes of Renoir.
