Alfred Sisley was an Impressionist painter who was born and spent most of his life in France, but retained British citizenship. He was the most consistent of the Impressionists in his dedication to painting landscape in outdoors. 

He rarely painted figures and, unlike Renoir and Pissarro, he was an artist who thought Impressionism fulfills his artistic needs. Among his important works are a series of paintings of the River Thames, mostly around Hampton Court, painted in 1874, and landscapes depicting places in or near Moret-sur-Loing.

The striking color, emphatic brushwork, and contoured forms of his work greatly influenced the current of Expressionism in modern art. His art became popular after his death, especially in the late 20th century.

Van Gogh’s works include landscapes, still lifes, portraits and self-portraits. However, he was not commercially successful and his suicide at 37 followed years of mental illness and poverty.

Claude Monet was a French painter and a founder of French Impressionist painting. 

The term "Impressionism" is derived from the title of his painting “Impression, Sunrise”, which was exhibited at the 1st “Independent Exhibition” in 1874, mounted by Monet and his associates as an alternative to the Salon de Paris. 

From 1883, Monet lived in Giverny, where he purchased a house and property and began a vast landscaping project. 

In 1899, he began painting the water lilies, first in vertical views with a Japanese bridge as a central feature and later in the series of large-scale paintings that was to occupy him continuously for the next 20 years of his life.
