About Camille Pissarro
Camille Pissarro was a Danish-French Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist painter known for his landscapes and urban scenes. He was born on the island of St. Thomas in the Danish West Indies (now US Virgin Islands) in 1830. Pissarro moved to Paris in his 20s and became a key figure in the Impressionist movement, influencing artists like Cézanne and Gauguin. He painted en plein air, capturing the effects of light and atmosphere in his works. Pissarro's commitment to art led him to participate in several Impressionist exhibitions and mentor younger artists.
