Alfred Sisley (1839-1899)

Celebrate Impressionist painter Alfred Sisley’s birthday with today’s Featured Artwork of the Day. To paint this panoramic scene, Sisley walked up the hill from his rented house in Marly-le-Roi, near Paris, and selected a northwest view overlooking the town.

我記得中國翻譯過Alfred Sisley 談"點描法"的短論文,待查。
阿爾弗雷德·西斯萊Alfred Sisley,1839年10月30日-1899年1月29日),法國印象派創始人之一,出生於法國巴黎的一個英國人家庭,之後恢復英國國籍,惟大部分時光在法國渡過。西斯萊主要創作風景畫,風格受到印象派同道和柯羅的影響,主要作品有《楓丹白露河邊》、《魯弗申的雪》、《馬爾利港的洪水》、《洪水泛濫中的小舟》等。他的畫作在生前並不被人看重,死後才獲得好評。[1]

Happy birthday to Alfred Sisley, born on this day in 1839. In the 1870s, Sisley, like his colleagues Monet and Pissarro, often painted the roads, bridges, and waterways linking Paris with the rapidly suburbanizing villages to the north and west.
