Known today only for his prolific illustrations of major European narratives and the Bible, he was also an accomplished and well-received painter in oils.
Active in Haarlem and Amsterdam during and after Poussin’s later years, his depiction of trees is outstanding, and his old oaks are lifelike.
After the Paris Commune, Pissarro returned to discover most of his life’s work had been destroyed, but he and Sisley continued to paint in Louveciennes and its surrounds.
In the summer of 1869, Renoir was living at his parents’ house in Louveciennes, and Monet was living near Bougival. Together they painted the works that set out the manifesto of Impressionism.
In 1865, Bazille, Monet, Renoir, Sisley and CĂ©zanne started painting outdoors in front of the motif in the forest, and so Impressionism began.
After some early visits, young landscape painters started to visit the forest in 1829, and became the Barbizon School.
Unusual paintings to add novelty to a collection, with maritimes, river views, cloudscapes, Amsterdam burning, and a couple of distinctive ‘negatives’.
Matching views painted by Pissarro and CĂ©zanne of the CĂ´te des Boeufs, a rainbow, the village in winter snow, and Pissarro’s gradual change to Pointillism.
From Pissarro’s early realist landscapes of 1867, the landscapes of a forgotten Impressionist, to the first outdoor paintings of Paul CĂ©zanne made alongside Pissarro’s easel.
