description: Sisley, whose parents were British, grew up in Paris and met Renoir and Monet at art school in 1862. Very few of Sisley’s 1860s works are known today, since the artist lost nearly everything during the invasion of France by Prussian troops in 1870. Drying Nets is one of the earliest Impressionist paintings. It belongs to a small group of landscapes executed in early 1872 at Villeneuve-la-Garenne, a village on the Seine just north of Paris. Around that time Sisley was staying at the home of Monet, who settled after the war in the riverside village of Argenteuil.
