Alfred Sisley (30 October 1839 – 29 January 1899) was an Impressionist landscape painter who was born and spent most of his life in France.
Described by art historian Robert Rosenblum as having "almost a generic character, an impersonal textbook idea of a perfect Impressionist painting",
his work strongly invokes atmosphere, and his skies are always
impressive. He concentrated on landscape more consistently than any
other Impressionist painter.
