Painter, lithographer and draftsman, Maximilien Luce was born in Paris on March 13, 1858. In the 1880s he met and established friendly contacts with many Parisian painters, including [[Camille Pissarro]] (1830-1903), [[George-Pierre Seurat]] (1859-1891) and [[Paul Signac]] (1863-1935). Together with them he was one of the founders of Neo-Impressionism ([[Pointillism]]). <ref>[http://www.abcgallery.com/P/pointillism/lucebio.html Maximilien Luce] Olga's Gallery

Sisley was exclusively a landscape painter, who, in the line of Corot, and with Monet, best sought and succeeded in expressing the most subtle nuances of nature in Impressionist landscapes. <ref> [http://www.impressionniste.net/sisley_alfred.htm Alfred Sisley] </ref>
