Throughout Sisley’s life, he devoted his time to the creation of landscape paintings, producing some 900 oil paintings, some 100 pastels and many other drawings that strongly invoke atmosphere. His artworks are described as “almost a generic character, an impersonal textbook idea of a perfect Impressionist painting” by art historian Robert Rosenblum.
