Page "Camille Pissarro" Paragraph 59

In his older age Pissarro suffered from a recurring eye infection that prevented him from working outdoors except in warm weather.

As a result of this disability, he began painting outdoor scenes while sitting by the window of hotel rooms.

He often chose hotel rooms on upper levels to get a broader view.

He moved around northern France and painted from hotels in Rouen, Paris, Le Havre and Dieppe.

On his visits to London, he would do the same.
