#CamillePissarro is often referred to as the father of #Impressionism. His paintings of French urban and rural life capture a period where urbanization began to spread into the countryside surrounding Paris, impacting the landscape and ways of life of its inhabitants.
.
This painting comes from one of the most productive eras of Pissarro’s carreer, when he moved his family back to Paris following the Franco-Prussian War. Pontoise, a northern suburb of Paris you see in this image, was a favorite subject of his.
