Which paintings did Alfred Sisley exhibit in 1874? On this page you will find an accounted impression of the 5+1hc=6 pictures that were shown by Alfred Sisley at the 1st ‘impressionist’ exposition in 1874 in Paris (catalogue numbers 161-165+hc). Several works exhibited depict the Seine and the surroundings of Marly, where Sisley than lived. At the bottom of the page you will find some given options that are probably not exhibited. You will also find an explination. Chesnau (1874/05/07) commented that ‘La Seine à Port-Marly’ (no.163) is the ‘absolute realisation of the ambitions of the school’. Further more he wrote: ‘I don’t know a painting nor from the past nor in the present that renders in a manner so complete, so perfect the physical sensation of the atmosphere of the ‘plein-air’ (R87,p270;R90I,p19).
