New York: [[Metropolitan Museum of Art]].]] '''Alfred Sisley''' ([[October 30]], [[1839]] – [[January 29]], [[1899]]) was a [[France|French]] [[impressionism|impressionist]] landscape painter. Sisley was born in [[Paris]] to British parents, William Sisley and Felicia Sell. In the early [[1860s]] studied in the [[Wiktionary:Atelier|atelier]] of [[Marc-Charles-Gabriel Gleyre]], where he became acquainted with [[Frederic Bazille]], [[Claude Monet]] and [[Pierre-Auguste Renoir]]. Unlike some of his fellow students who suffered financial hardships, Sisley received an allowance from his father. Sisley's student works are lost. His earliest known work, [[:Image:Sisley-Lane near a Small Town.jpg|''Lane near a Small Town'']] is believed to have been painted around [[1864]]. In the late [[1860s]], he entered into a relationship with Eugenie Lescouezec, with whom he had two children. This relationship continued for over 30 years, ending with her death a few months before Sisley's death in [[1899]]. Sisley died in [[Moret-sur-Loing]] at the age of 59. == Well-known works == Among Sisley's best known works are ''Street in Moret'' and ''Sand Heaps'', both owned by the [[Art Institute of Chicago]], and ''The Bridge at Moret-sur-Loing'' shown at [[Musée d'Orsay]], Paris. == Selected works == * ''[[:Image:Sisley-Lane near a Small Town.jpg|Lane near a Small Town]]'' (c.
