Camille Pissarro

Personal Details Name Camille Pissarro Place of Birth Charlotte Amalie (St. Thomas), Virgin Islands Date of Birth 10 July 1830 Date of Death 13 November 1903 Field Painting Nationality French Movement Impressionist

Career:

   His finest early works (See Jalais Hill, Pontoise, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York) are characterized by a broadly painted (sometimes with palette knife) naturalism derived from Courbet, but with an incipient Impressionist palette.

   Pissarro married Julie Vellay, a maid in his mother's household. Of their eight children, one died at birth and one daughter died aged nine. The surviving children all painted, and Lucien, the oldest son, became a follower of William Morris.
