The 13 Essential Artists of Impressionism | Artmajeur Magazine
Artmajeur looks back at 13 painters who left their mark on art history with the thrilling stroke of their brush.
Café Guerbois
Although he was one of the founders of Impressionism, Alfred Sisley (1839 - 1899) remains one of its least known personalities, compared to the international celebrities such as Monet, Renoir, Degas, or Manet. He was never famous during his lifetime. In painting, he only found ecstasy through landscapes, creating masterpieces of this genre with each brush stroke. His lifestyle alternated between Parisian socializing at the <anchor>Café Guerbois</anchor> with his friends, and relaxing stays in the country where he could devote himself to open-air painting.

**Café Guerbois**, on Avenue de Clichy in Paris, was the site of late 19th-century discussions and planning amongst artists, writers and art lovers – the _[bohèmes](/wiki/Bohemianism "Bohemianism")_ (bohemians), in contrast to the _[bourgeois](/wiki/Bourgeois "Bourgeois")_.

Centered on [Édouard Manet](/wiki/%C3%89douard_Manet "Édouard Manet"), the group gathered at the [café](/wiki/Caf%C3%A9 "Café") usually on Sundays and Thursdays.

[Émile Zola](/wiki/%C3%89mile_Zola "Émile Zola"), [Frédéric Bazille](/wiki/Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric_Bazille "Frédéric Bazille"), [Louis Edmond Duranty](/wiki/Louis_Edmond_Duranty "Louis Edmond Duranty"), [Henri Fantin-Latour](/wiki/Henri_Fantin-Latour "Henri Fantin-Latour"), [Emmanuel Chabrier](/wiki/Emmanuel_Chabrier "Emmanuel Chabrier"), [Edgar Degas](/wiki/Edgar_Degas "Edgar Degas"), [Claude Monet](/wiki/Claude_Monet "Claude Monet"), [Pierre-Auguste Renoir](/wiki/Pierre-Auguste_Renoir "Pierre-Auguste Renoir") and [Alfred Sisley](/wiki/Alfred_Sisley "Alfred Sisley") regularly joined in the discussions.[\[1\]](#cite_note-tinterow-1) Sometimes [Paul Cézanne](/wiki/Paul_C%C3%A9zanne "Paul Cézanne") and [Camille Pissarro](/wiki/Camille_Pissarro "Camille Pissarro") also joined them. The group is sometimes called the [Batignolles Group](/wiki/Batignolles_group "Batignolles group") and many of the members are associated with [Impressionism](/wiki/Impressionism "Impressionism").

Conversations there were often heated. On one evening in February 1870, things became so heated that Manet, insulted by a review that Duranty wrote, wounded Duranty in a [duel](/wiki/Duel "Duel"). The injury was not fatal, and the two remained friends.
