Camille Pissarro
French, Charlotte Amalie, Saint Thomas 1830–1903 Paris
Camille Pissarro, a French painter and printmaker born in Saint Thomas and long active in France, belongs to the Impressionist generation and is known for landscapes, rural figures and city views rendered in oil, watercolor and intaglio printmaking. The present selection gathers 53 sheets from 1867 to 1899, dominated by oil on canvas alongside lithographs printed on chine collé, etchings on laid paper and a few works in watercolor over black chalk or black chalk alone. Subjects range from a portrait of Paul Cézanne and peasant figures to garden scenes and churches in Eragny and Upper Norwood, with later impressions extending up to the end of the century.
