Which Impressionist painter died in 1899? Alfred Sisley did.

Sisley was born in Paris in 1839 to British parents and spent most of his career in France. He became one of Impressionism’s most devoted landscape painters, repeatedly studying rivers, roads, villages, snow, and changing weather rather than concentrating on portraits or grand historical subjects.

Unlike some of his better-known colleagues, Sisley remained strongly committed to painting landscapes outdoors, or en plein air. Important subjects included the River Thames near Hampton Court and the countryside around Moret-sur-Loing. His restrained palette and atmospheric handling of light can sometimes make him less immediately recognizable than Claude Monet or Pierre-Auguste Renoir.

Sisley died of throat cancer at Moret-sur-Loing on 29 January 1899, aged 59. A common mix-up is nationality: although French-born and France-based, he remained a British national after his applications for French citizenship were unsuccessful.
