Camille Pissarro

Camille Pissarro, born in 1830 on St. Thomas Island and died in 1903 in Paris, was a key figure in the French Impressionist movement. Known as the 'Father of Impressionism,' Pissarro's works such as 'Boulevard Montmartre at Night' and 'Hoar Frost, the Old Road to Ennery' capture rural and urban French life with a focus on light and atmosphere. His dedication to depicting the natural world and his mentorship to other Impressionists have cemented his legacy as a pivotal figure in modern art.
