I travelled to see The Tuileries Gardens, Rainy Weather By Camille Pissarro at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. Come join me there too. Welcome to Art, Culture & Travel with me, Anthony King.
Camille Pissarro, the Danish-French painter, was born on July 10, 1830, in Charlotte Amalie, U.S. Virgin Islands, and died on November 13, 1903, in Paris, France. Pissarro’s influence on the Impressionist movement was substantial. This oil on canvas was painted in 1899. The gallery tell us that “this is one of sixteen canvases painted from the windows of the apartment Pissarro rented at 204 rue de Rivoli, Paris, from January 1899. The view looks over the Tuileries towards the Seine, with the spires of the church of Ste Clotilde on the right. The weather was wet and cold, but appropriate for the pearly light and subdued effects Pissarro wished to convey.”
