Alfred Sisley (1839-1899)

Alfred Sisley frequently and poetically championed the medieval French town of Moret-sur-Loing. This painting with its impeccable traceability adds a fresh note to the series. 

Alfred Sisley trained in Swiss painter Charles Gleyre’s studio alongside Monet, Bazille and Renoir. He quickly broke with the academic spirit and embarked on an Impressionist path.

Yet another Impressionism show? What is there left to say? Plenty.

Bought to light in an inheritance, this forgotten painting in delicate autumnal tones created a splash in Bourg-en-Bresse.

Now a figure of classical art history, sculptor Alfred Boucher achieved great fame during his lifetime.

Modern artists Constantine Korovin, Henri Hayden, Moïse Kisling and Alfred Boucher celebrated fruits and flowers.

In collaboration with the National Gallery of Art in Washington, the Musée d’Orsay focuses on the year 1874 and the first exhibition of independent artists who were soon to be called “Impressionists”.

Mankind's most magnificent conquest was Alfred de Dreux's chief source of inspiration. A passionate horse lover, the artist celebrated them with some of his finest works.

The unclassifiable artist explored several roads before tending towards painting bordering on hyperrealism.

The auction house in Bourg-en-Bresse bet between €200,000 and €300,000 for this painting by the "most unrecognized and perhaps most pure of the Impressionists". Rue des Fossés, faubourg du Pont in Moret-sur-Loing, authenticated on the basis of inheritance, collected €250,000 on October 3.
