In this handsome book, an international team of scholars presents a broad-ranging analysis of Sisley and his work. By focusing on sixty-five of his best paintings, the book allows us to appreciate Sisley's contribution to the forging of Impressionism in the 1860s, his mastery of style in the 1870s, his resolution of the problems of technique in the 1880s, and his exploration of the idea of serial painting in the 1890s.
The book begins with a biography of Sisley. Next a discussion of Sisley's relationship with his European dealers. A commentary on works by Sisley shed light on contemporary attitudes toward his art.
