Impressionism, a historical reconstruction:

Alfred Sisley

(1839-1899)

at the 7th ‘impressionist’ exposition in 1882:

a complete impression of his exhibited paintings

Which paintings did Alfred Sisley exhibit in 1882?
On this page you will find an accounted impression of the 27 pictures that were shown by Alfred Sisley at the 7th ‘impressionist’ exposition (catalogue numbers: 162-188). I will render them by form, thematically and in order of catalogue number. Sometimes I render more than one option within a compilation. At the bottom of this page you will find some given suggestions, that were probably not exhibited and also an explination.
Many works depicted Veneux-les-Sablons, Saint-Mammès, Moret-sur-Loing and it’s surroundings. His painting style has matured, using bright, vibrant colours and juxtaposed brushstrokes. Sisley is called less bold and delerious than Monet (and Pissarro). Huysmans described that his works ‘also have a pretty melancholic smile and often even a great charm of beauty’ (R90I,p398).
Note: If you double click on the first (of a cluster of) pictures and then click on full screen, you can create a slideshow. Enjoy!

 

 

Probably not exhibited:
Some suggestions are done by my sources or mentioned by myself, which (after more study) probably weren’t exhibited in 1882. I will render them here below.

 

Explication:
Sometimes the identification of a painting is ‘uncertain’, see. Sometimes I render a painting that wasn’t exhibited to compare, because it has resemblances with the work exhibited. For the numbers 165 +166 +175 +177 +178 +179 +181 +183 +184 +188 I render two options within a compilation. 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 Alfred Sisley.
