Camille Pissarro () ( 10 July 1830 – 13 November 1903 ) was a French Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist painter born on the island of St Thomas ( now in the US Virgin Islands, but then in the Danish West Indies ).

When he turned twenty-one, Danish artist Fritz Melbye, then living on St. Thomas, inspired Pissarro to take on painting as a full-time profession, becoming his teacher and friend.

In 1906, a few years after Pissarro ’ s death, Cézanne, then 67 and a role model for the new generation of artists, paid Pissarro a debt of gratitude by having himself listed in an exhibition catalog as “ Paul Cézanne, pupil of Pissarro ”.

Pissarro then spent the next four years, from 1885 to 1888, practicing this more time-consuming and laborious technique, referred to as pointillism.

Art historian Diane Kelder notes that it was Pissarro who introduced Gauguin, who was then a young stockbroker studying to become an artist, to Degas and Cézanne.

In 1898, on the advice of Camille Pissarro, he went to London to study the paintings of J. M. W. Turner and then went on a trip to Corsica.

There was some similarity between her early engravings and those of Gill, and she did know Gill, but the similarity was based mostly on her black line style at the time, influenced by Lucien Pissarro, and the semi-religious themes that she then chose.

In 1859, while attending the free school, the Académie Suisse, Pissarro became friends with a number of younger artists who likewise chose to paint in the more realistic style.

When Pissarro returned to his home in France after the war, he discovered that of the 1, 500 paintings he had done over 20 years, which he was forced to leave behind when he moved to London, only 40 remained.

The 1, 500-page, three-volume work is the most comprehensive collection of Pissarro paintings to date, and contains accompanying images of drawings and studies, as well as photographs of Pissarro and his family that have not previously been published.

She also worked closely with Camille Pissarro to assist him in his dire financial situation by selling his work to friends and family in America.

As for the French Impressionists, he wrote " Even Claude Monet, Sisley, Pissarro and the school of extreme Impressionists do some things that are charming and that will live.

As a result, Pissarro went back to his earlier themes by painting the life of country people, which he had done in Venezuela in his youth.

He would spend his free hours visiting galleries and salons, especially the Louvre, where he would study the works of Rembrandt, the Le Nain brothers, Chardin, van Gogh, Renoir, Pissarro, Matisse, Gauguin, Courbet, Millet, Manet, Monet, Delacroix, and others.

Van Mieghem had his first taste of real success at La Libre Esthétique in Brussels, where his pastels and drawings hung alongside works by French impressionists such as Claude Monet, Paul Cézanne, Camille Pissarro, Jean Renoir and Edouard Vuillard.

In subsequent Salon exhibits of 1865 and 1866, Pissarro acknowledged his influences from Melbye and Corot, whom he listed as his masters in the catalog.

She and Pissarro were often treated as " two outsiders " by the Salon since neither were French or had become French citizens.

) Over two summer holidays, he painted with Pissarro and occasionally Paul Cézanne.

Also known as the " Independents " or " Intransigents ", the group which at times included Degas, Monet, Sisley, Caillebotte, Pissarro, Renoir, and Berthe Morisot, had been receiving the wrath of the critics for several years.

Cézanne ’ s work had been mocked at the time by the others in the school, and, writes Rewald, in his later years Cézanne " never forgot the sympathy and understanding with which Pissarro encouraged him.

In later years, Cézanne also recalled this period and referred to Pissarro as “ the first Impressionist ”.

Cassatt had befriended Degas and Pissarro years earlier when she joined Pissarro's newly formed French Impressionist group and gave up opportunities to exhibit in the United States.

According to Pissarro ’ s son Lucien, his father was impressed by Van Gogh ’ s work and had “ foreseen the power of this artist ”, who was 23 years younger.

Cézanne, although only nine years younger than Pissarro, said that “ he was a father for me.

Camille Pissarro lived there for seventeen years.

.” Journalist and art critic Octave Mirbeau on the other hand, writes, “ Camille Pissarro has been a revolutionary through the revitalized working methods with which he has endowed painting ”.

Degas described Pissarro ’ s subjects as “ peasants working to make a living ”.

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

Few other artists used the technique until Degas, who made several, often working on them further after printing ( Beside the Sea, 1876-7 ); Pissarro also made several.

Upon the recommendation of Camille Pissarro, a former patient of the doctor who told Theo of Gachet's interests in working with artists, Theo sent Vincent to Gachet's second home in Auvers.

Due to early experiences with working at an inn frequented by Monet and Pissarro, Madame Rachou would encourage artists and writers to stay at the hotel and even at times permit them to pay the rent with paintings or manuscripts.

According to Rewald, Pissarro had taken on an attitude more simple and natural than the other artists.

Lucien Pissarro was taught painting by his father, and described him as a “ splendid teacher, never imposing his personality on his pupil .” Gauguin, who also studied under him, referred to Pissarro “ as a force with which future artists would have to reckon ”.

Some of the original Impressionist artists also ventured into this new territory ; Camille Pissarro briefly painted in a pointillist manner, and even Monet abandoned strict plein air painting.

Anquetin worked closely and exhibited with the artists Vincent van Gogh, Charles Angrand, Emile Bernard, Paul Gauguin, Camille Pissarro, Georges Seurat, Paul Signac and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.

The Zambaccian Museum, which is situated in the former home of art collector Krikor H. Zambaccian contains works by many well-known Romanian artists as well as international artists such as Paul Cézanne, Eugène Delacroix, Henri Matisse, Camille Pissarro and Pablo Picasso.

In the mid-19th century, artists such as Johan Jongkind and Camille Pissarro came to inhabit Montmartre.

As his financial situation improved through sales of his own work, he was able to indulge his passion for collecting works by artists he admired: old masters such as El Greco and such contemporaries as Manet, Pissarro, Cézanne, Gauguin, and Van Gogh.

He formed a friendship with Pissarro and visited him on Sundays, to paint in his garden, and Pissarro introduced him to various other artists.

Many artists took refuge in England, joining Whistler, including Pissarro and Monet, while Manet and Degas stayed in France.

Like Whistler, Monet and Pissarro both focused their efforts on views of the city, and it is likely that Whistler was exposed to the evolution of Impressionism founded by these artists and that they had seen his nocturnes.

Historically notable inhabitants include: Frederick, Prince of Wales ; Princess Augusta of Saxe-Gotha ; Capability Brown ; John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute ; artists Thomas Gainsborough, Arthur Hughes and Camille Pissarro ; and Liberal Party leader Jo Grimond.

Impressionism was developed in France by artists such as Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Camille Pissarro.

Just before World War I he championed the avant-garde artists Lucien Pissarro, Jacob Epstein, Augustus John and Wyndham Lewis.

It also allowed him to help fund Impressionist exhibitions and support his fellow artists and friends ( including Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, and Camille Pissarro among others ) by purchasing their works and, at least in the case of Monet, paying the rent for their studios.

This collection included sixty-eight paintings by various artists: Camille Pissarro ( nineteen ), Claude Monet ( fourteen ), Pierre-Auguste Renoir ( ten ), Alfred Sisley ( nine ), Edgar Degas ( seven ), Paul Cézanne ( five ), and Édouard Manet ( four ).
