Camille Pissarro, French, 1830 to 1903, an oil on board painting At the Village. Housed in a richly ornate gilt wood and gesso frame with a metal name plate below. Camille Pissarro was a key member of the French Impressionist group of painters. He studied at the Académie Suisse and formed friendships with Paul Cezanne, Claude Monet, and other future members of the Impressionist group. By the late 1860s, his powerful realist landscapes were praised by the prominent critic Emile Zola. In the last years of his life Camille divided his time between Paris, Rouen, Le Havre and his home in Eragny and painted several series of different aspects of the cities with varying light and weather effects, while expressing the dynamism of the modern city. Many of these paintings are considered amongst his best and make a fitting finale to his long and eventful career. One of a kind artwork. French Impressionist Paintings And Modernist Art Collectibles.
