Alfred Sisley Oil Painting Reproductions

British Artist Alfred Sisley, Impressionist paintings

Alfred Sisley was born in Paris in 1839 to wealthy English parents. He studied art at the Academy Des Beaux Arts, where he became acquainted with Claude Monet and Pierre Auguste Renoir.

Like all impressionist artists, Sisley paintings are plein air.

For most of his life,  Sisley lived in France, making regular trips back to the UK.  Some of Sisley's paintings are of beautiful landscapes surrounding the Thames River near Molesey and Hampton Court.

Alfred Sisley Landscape Paintings

Sisley's oil painting, The Regatta at Molesey near Hampton Court 1874, is held by the Musee d'Orsay in Paris. Gustave Caillebotte previously owned the artwork but was bequeathed to the French state upon his death.

Sisley visited Wales and painted at least 11 landscapes of the Gower Peninsular. One such painting, Storr Rock, Lady's Cove, Le Soir (Evening) 1897, is held by the National Museum of Wales. It is a small oil painting on canvas at 65.5 c 81.5cm (26 x 32").

The artist produced many artworks, with an estimated 900 oil paintings, drawings, and pastels, during his lifetime.

However, the Nazis looted many of Sisley impressionist paintings, some of which remain lost.

Sisley's financial circumstances changed considerably when his father's business suffered due to the Franco-Prussian war. Without his father's patronage, Sisley led a much-altered lifestyle after that.

Unfortunately, Alfred Sisley never achieved success during his lifetime, and his paintings did not receive acclaim until after his death.
