SISLEY, ALFRED (1840-1899) ,
French
  landscape painter, was born in Paris in 1839, of
English
  parents. He studied
painting
  under
Gleyre
 , and was afterwards influenced, first by Corot, and then by the impressionists Monet and Renoir. He worked both in
France
  and in England, and made the Seine, the Loing and the Thames the subjects of many pictures that are remarkable for the subtle appreciation of the most delicate colour effects. Success was not given him during his
life
 , which was one of
constant
  poverty and hard struggle. Purchasers of his pictures were few and far between, although the prices rarely exceeded a few pounds. Only after his death, which occurred at Moret-sur-Loing in 1899, did his
work
  find appreciation, and at the Viau sale in Paris, in 1907, his small
painting
  of " The Seine at Port-Marly " realized 652, whilst ten other landscapes sold at prices ranging from 200 to 400. He was essentially a colourist who, like Monet, delighted in recording the changing effects of light in the successive
hours
  of the day, and paid very little attention to composition and draughtsmanship. The impressionist exhibition at the Grafton Galleries, London, in 1905, included several characteristic examples of his
work
 . Sisley iss.lso represented at the Luxembourg in the Caillebotte collection.
