Alfred Sisley
Sisley, "L'automne: Bords de la Seine près Bougival (Autumn: Banks of the Seine near Bougival)"
1873, Oil on canvas, 46 x 62 cm
Montreal Museum of Fine Arts/Musée des Beaux-Arts de Montréal
"We confess that in general we only moderately admire Sisley's paintings.
Finishing is difficult. Many people make sketches with finesse, but one must
blame those among them who limit themselves to beginnings. But this time Sisley
exhibits a charming work along with other mediocre canvases. We do not know its
title, for the catalogue is not yet published. On the bank of water vaguely
tinted by the reflection from a pale sky, some yellow and red autumn trees lean,
sad yet golden. And on the opposite bank, in a sort of half-circle, small
houses, some with red roofs, stretch toward a distant, deeper blue."
Jean Prouvaire [PierreToloza], Le Rappel, 20 April 1874

"Landscape paintings are prominent in the Exhibition. Their defects also
pierce the armor. Sisley is one of those making progress, but perhaps he sees
too thin a section of nature."
