PISSARRO, CAMILLE (18311903)

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 653 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PIG-POL
PISSARRO, CAMILLE (18311903) , French painter, was born at St
Thomas
  in the Danish Antilles, of Jewish parents of Spanish extraction. He went to Paris at the age of twenty, and, as a
pupil
  of Corot, came into close
touch
  with the Barbizon masters. Though at first he devoted himself to subjects of the kind which will ever be associated with the name of Millet, his
interest
  was entirely absorbed by the landscape, and not by the figures. He subsequently fell under the spell of the rising impressionist
movement
  and threw in his lot with Monet and his friends, who were at that time the
butt
  of public ridicule. Like Monet, he made sunlight, and the effect of sunlight on the objects of nature, the
chief
  subjects of his paintings, whether in the country or on the Paris boulevards. About 1885 he took up the laboriously scientific method of the pointillists, but after a few years of these experiments he returned to a broader and more attractive manner. Indeed, in the closing years of his
life
  he produced some of his finest paintings, in which he set down with admirable truth the
peculiar
  atmosphere and colour and teeming
life
  of the boulevards, streets and bridges of Paris and Rouen. He died in Paris in 1903.
Pissarro is represented in the Caillebotte room at the Luxembourg, and in almost every collection of impressionist paintings. A number of his finest works are in the collection of M. Durand-Ruel in Paris.
