| | WetCanvas: Virtual Museum: Individual Artists: Alfred Sisley (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) |
 | | Alfred Sisley was born in Paris of English parents, and apart from a few visits to London, where he was sent to learn English, he spent his life in France. |
 | | Sisley painted with great deliberation, allowing the fullest expression of his sensibilities. |
 | | Although he started life in comfortable circumstances, the war and the Commune which followed it had deprived his father of his capital and Sisley himself suffered a poverty that was never alleviated, despite the efforts of Charles Durand-Ruel and another dealer, Charpentier, to help him. |
