Alfred Sisley Oil Painting Reproductions

Impressionist paintings by Alfred Sisley

Alfred Sisley was born in Paris in 1839 to wealthy English parents. He studied art at the Academy Des Beaux Arts and became acquainted with Claude Monet and Pierre Auguste Renoir. Like all impressionist artists, Sisley's artwork was completed plein air.  His landscape oil paintings depict the countryside surrounding the River Thames near Molesey and Hampton Court.

Sisley visited Wales on many occasions and painted at least eleven landscape oil paintings 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 measuring 65.5 c 81.5cm (26 x 32").  During his lifetime, he produced many artworks, with an estimated 900 oil paintings, drawings, and pastels. However, the Nazis looted many of Sisley's Impressionist paintings, some of which remain lost.

Due to the Franco-Prussian War, Alfred Sisley's father's business suffered.  Without his father's patronage, Alfred Sisley's lifestyle altered dramatically, and unfortunately. Sisley did not achieve success during his lifetime and only after his death in 1932 did his oil paintings gain recognition.
