Masters of Art — Alfred Sisley

 The English artist Alfred Sisley was a founding member of Impressionism — one of the most important movements of the modern age. His landscapes are celebrated for their subtlety and quiet variety, offering some of the finest canvases of all nineteenth-century art. His frank and sincere character is present in all of his paintings, noted for their perfection of tone, polished composition and variety of handling. Although he has been overshadowed by his more famous colleagues, he produced landscapes that strongly invoke a powerful sense of atmosphere, with impressive skies and an important understanding of the compositional features for balanced expression. Delphi’s Masters of Art Series presents the world’s first digital e-Art books, allowing readers to explore the works of great artists in comprehensive detail.
