Alfred Sisley
Alfred Sisley (; ; 30 October 1839 – 29 January 1899) was an Impressionist landscape painter who was born and spent most of his life in France, but retained British citizenship. He was the most consistent of the Impressionists in his dedication to painting landscape ''en plein air'' (i.e., outdoors). He deviated into figure painting only rarely and, unlike Renoir and Pissarro, he found that Impressionism fulfilled his artistic needs. Among his important works are a series of paintings of the River Thames, mostly around Hampton Court, executed in 1874, and landscapes depicting places in or near Moret-sur-Loing. The notable paintings of the Seine and its bridges in the former suburbs of Paris are like many of his landscapes, characterised by tranquillity, in pale shades of green, pink, purple, dusty blue and cream. Over the years Sisley's power of expression and colour intensity increased. Richard Shone: ''Sisley.'' London: Phaidon Press 1999. Biography Sisley was born in Pa ...

Musée D'art Et D'histoire De Meudon
Meudon () is a municipality in the southwestern suburbs of Paris, France. It is in the département of Hauts-de-Seine. It is located from the center of Paris. The city is known for many historic monuments and some extraordinary trees. One of them, the Imperial Cedar (), attracted the attention of Empress Eugénie and Queen Victoria. As of March 2021, the tree is in good condition, but it is threatened by real estate speculation. Another real estate project is planned for the historic park of the Napoleon III villa built by Charles Schacher. Both projects are controversial and have aroused local opposition. Geography The town of Meudon is built on the hills and valleys of the Seine. The wood of Meudon lies for the most part to the west of the town. The north-west part of Meudon, overlooking the Seine, is known as ''Bellevue'' ("beautiful view"). History At Meudon, the argile plastique clay was extensively mined in the 19th century.

The Small Meadows In Spring, By
''The Small Meadows in Spring, By'' (French ''Les Petits Prés au printemps, By'') is an 1881 painting by Alfred Sisley, on loan from Tate Britain to the National Gallery since 1997. The location it shows is now paved, but was then a wooded path along the left bank of the Seine linking the villages of Veneux-les-Sablons and By, with Champagne-sur-Seine in the right background and a young girl just left of centre, probably the artist's twelve-year-old daughter Jeanne. The same path appears in mirror-image in his ''The Small Meadows at By, Stormy Weather''. Production In 1880 financial difficulties forced Sisley to leave Sèvres and in 1882 he set up home in Moret-sur-Loing to the south-east of Paris, where he spent the rest of his life. Before definitively settling in Moret, he also painted several works in the area around Veneux-les-Sablons. This also marked a turning-point in his oeuvre, giving his landscapes a vitality and incomparable freshness. It was catalogue number 3 ...
