Alfred Sisley | Stile Artistico

Tra i più grandi protagonisti dell'epopea impressionista, Alfred Sisley fu uno degli interpreti più lucidi e risoluti dei principi in base ai quali era nato il movimento: da «vero impressionista», come disse di lui Camille Pissarro, egli rinunciò alle pennellate fluide e lungamente studiate distintive dei dipinti accademici e adottò tocchi virgolati rapidi e staccati, idonei per cogliere l'estrema mobilità della luce e degli effetti cromatici.
Partendo dal presupposto scientifico che la luce era l'elemento indispensabile della visione, infatti, Sisley comprese che ogni paesaggio assume una gamma cromatica più o meno vivida in relazione alla quantità di luce che lo colpisce ed alla presenza o meno di altri colori che, a loro volta, si accostano o si mescolano, smorzandosi reciprocamente o reciprocamente esaltandosi.

Jules Breton | Naturalist painter

As one of the primary painters of peasant themes in the nineteenth century, and an artist strongly influenced by his own native traditions from northern France, Jules Breton’s reputation rivaled that of Eugène Delacroix or Jean-Dominique Ingres at the time of his death in 1906.

Since then, after a long period of relative obscurity, Breton has returned to considerable favor; he is now regarded as a primary painter of daily life with an inherent and substantial understanding of the old masters form the Italian renaissance especially Raphael.
