Alfred Sisley paintings in Brussels

Brussels's Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium holds 2 works by Alfred Sisley (1839–1899) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.

Sisley is the quietest of the Impressionists, but his landscapes have a delicacy and precision of observation that rewards attention. In person, the freshness of his brushwork — the sense of air, moisture, and changing light — is more apparent than any reproduction conveys.
