Impressionism, a historical reconstruction:

Alfred Sisley

(1839-1899)

at the 2nd ‘impressionist’ exposition in 1876

an impression of his paintings

 

Introduction:
On this page you will find an accounted impression of the 8+2hc=10 pictures that were shown by Sisley at the 2nd ‘impressionist’ exposition in 1876 (catalogue numbers: 237-244+hc2). Sisley depicted the waterworks in Louveciennes and Marly and the floods in Port-Marly. I will render the pictures thematically and sometimes I give more than one option. Note: If you double click on the first picture and then click on full screen, you can create a slideshow. Enjoy!

 

Explication:
Sometimes the indentification of a painting is ‘uncertain’, see. Sometimes to ‘compare’ another picture is given that is (probably) similar to the painting that was exhibited. For explanation of the subscriptions, see. For an account (references, info, discussion, locations on Google-maps) see. For the sources see at the bottom of the main page about Sisley. Most of the paintings are from the marvelous database of the-athenaeum.org.
