Sisleys Childhood

• Sisley was born in Paris, which was one of
  his favorite places to paint, to English parents
  on October 30, 1839. Sisleys father sent him to
  London to become a business man, but Sisley soon
  returned, to the disappointment of his father,
  and began to focus on his art.

10
Sisleys Education In Art

• As an amateur at the studio of M.C.G Gleyer,
  where he made the acquaintance of impressionist
  artists such as Renoir, Monet, and J.F Bazille.
  He soon began to reject the studios ideas, and
  paint like his impressionists influences. He
  painted mostly landscapes using bright coloring.

• financially, his talent
• was not recognized until
• after his death. He died,

Painting Description

• The Church at Monet
• A large church, either at
• dawn or in the late
• evening. People, small
• out of focus, file in
• thorough its large doors.
• The sun turns the white
• Church yellow in the sun
• and purple in the shadows.

13
Traditional Painting vs. Impressionism

• Traditional paintings looked life-like and the
  people in them were very large. There isnt any
  obvious brush-work, with no visible strokes. The
  coloring was often dark and shadowy. Nature was
  often used as a background, but never a subject.
• Impressionists used light colors, and painted the
  way they saw things. They didnt try to add or
  beautify anything. People in impressionists
  paintings were often cut off or out of focus.
  Impressionists sometimes mixed colors directly on
  the canvas. Though not immediately popular, not
  all responses to impressionism were negative.
