Person
Alfred Sisley was an Impressionist landscape painter who was born and spent most of his life in France. In 1862 he studied at the atelier of Swiss artist Marc-Charles-Gabriel Gleyre, where he became acquainted with Frederic Bazille, Claude Monet, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Together they would paint landscapes en plein air in order to realistically capture the transient effects of sunlight. Amongs his best-known works are "Street in Moret" and "The Bridge at Moret-sur-Loing."
