I travelled to see Snowy landscape at Eragny by Camille Pissarro at the The Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge. 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. His dedication to capturing the ever-changing quality of light and the essence of daily life set the standard for Impressionist art. This oil on canvas was painted in 1895. The gallery tells us that: “The orchard and surrounding countryside became the principal motifs in his paintings of the 1890s; this view was painted from the large barn at the foot of his garden which he converted into a studio.”
