In this panoramic view of the Seine Valley near the town of St.-Germain-en-Laye, Sisley captures the atmosphere and lighting conditions associated with early spring. On the heights in the distance, he includes the old castle that housed the French royal court until 1682, but he also adds some modernity, including the steam tugs carrying ships across the river and the railway bridge. Sisley was born in France to English parents. While enrolled in Charles Gleyre's studio in Paris, he and his fellow students, Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir and Frédéric Bazille, began painting outdoors in the Fontainebleau forest. In 1874, he showed five paintings at the first Impressionist exhibition. Of all the Impressionists, he and Monet would remain the most consistent landscape painters.
Alfred Sisley (Paris, 30 October 1839 - Moret-sur-Loing, 29 January 1899) was a British Impressionist painter who lived and worked largely in France.
