Alfred Sisley: Rest along the Stream, 1878

Alfred Sisley (1839-1899) was an Impressionist landscape painter who was born and spent most of his life in France, but retained British citizenship. He was the most consistent of the Impressionists in his dedication to painting landscape en plein air. He deviated into figure painting only rarely and, unlike Renoir and Pissarro, he found that Impressionism fulfilled his artistic needs. Sisley’s refined and delicate landscapes exude a sensitivity expressed through discreet colour harmonies.
