5 Alfred Sisley The English artist Alfred Sisley was drawn to landscapes from an early age. He frequent- ly portrayed the surroundings of Moret-sur-Loing near Fontainebleau, especially after he moved there in 1889. Painting en plein air , he captured the lovely region from ever-changing perspectives, as here in lush shades of green, with special interest in big skies and water surfaces with constantly changing reflections.
