Description: | Signed: yes Description: Born in Paris of English parents, Alfred Sisley was a leading member of the Impressionist movement. Significantly, he studied painting at the studio of Charles Gleyre in 1862, working alongside Claude Monet and Auguste Renoir. This painting was probably made a decade later, while the artist was staying in Argenteuil with Monet during the early 1670s. Sisley's work did not change dramatically during his career, remaining faithful to the methods and motives of early Impressionism. Consequently, his reputation has not been as closely linked with the subsequent path of modernist painting as has that of Monet, for example. Nevertheless, his importance within the European art world of the 1860s and 1870s is undiminished and he remains best known for his landscape painting and scenes of the Parisian winter. | Subjects: | dog) townscape; figure; animal (horse | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Sisley, Alfred (French and British painter, 1839-1899) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8537... | Go to resource |
