Alfred Sisley (1839–1899) was a British Impressionist painter born in Paris to English parents. Though he spent most of his life in France, he retained his British citizenship. Sisley was a founding member of the Impressionist movement and is renowned for his dedication to landscape painting. His works are distinguished by their subtle tonalities and atmospheric effects, often depicting serene river scenes, rural villages, and changing seasons. Despite facing financial difficulties and limited recognition during his lifetime, Sisley's contributions to Impressionism have been celebrated posthumously, with his paintings held in major museums worldwide
