Camille Pissarro

“Father Pissarro”, as his friends liked to call him, was the most restrained of the artists of the Impressionist movement. Perhaps it was his age, being older than his fellow artists Monet, Sisley, Bazille, and Renoir, or rather his maturity, which resulted in his works having such serene and sober subjects and compositions.

A man of simple tastes, he enjoyed painting peasants going about their daily lives. However, Pissarro owes his belated fame to his urban landscapes, which he treated with the same passion he used to paint beautiful stormy skies and frost-whitened mornings.

    At Paul Durand-Ruel’s request, Pissarro summarised his own biography in the following way: “Born at St. Thomas (Danish Antilles) on 10 July 1830. Came to Paris in 1841 to enrol in the Savary boarding school in Passy. In 1847 I returned to St. Thomas, where I began to draw while employed in a business firm. In 1852 I gave up business and left with Mr Fritz Melbye, a Danish painter, for Caracas (Venezuela), where I lived until 1855. I returned to St. Thomas to work in business. I finally returned to France at the end of 1855 in time to see the Paris Universal Exhibition.
