1. Camille Jacob Pissarro was a French impressionist painter whose
friendship and support provided encouragement for many
younger painters. Pissarro was born in Saint Thomas,
Virgin Islands, and moved to Paris in 1855, where he studied
with the French landscape painter Camille Corot. At first
associated with the Barbizon school, Pissarro subsequently
joined the impressionists and was represented in all their
exhibitions. During the Franco-Prussian War ( ),
he lived in England and made a study of English art, particularly
the landscapes of Joseph Mallord William Turner. For a time in the
1880s Pissarro, discouraged with his work, experimented with
Camille Pissarro ( )
pointillism; the new style, however, proved unpopular with collectors and dealers,
and he returned to a freer impressionist style.A painter of sunshine and the
scintillating play of light,Pissarro produced many quiet rural landscapes and river
scenes; he also painted street scenes in Paris, Le Havre, and London.
An excellent teacher, he counted among his pupils and associates the French
painters Paul Gauguin and Paul Cézanne, his son Lucien Pissarro, and the American
impressionist Mary Cassatt. Of Pissarro's great output (including paintings,
watercolors, and graphics),ny works hang in the Luxembourg Gallery, Paris,
and in the leading galleries of Europe.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, has his Bather in the Woods (1895).
