Landscape at Chaponval

This is the other painting that caught my eye. Landscape at Chaponval painted in 1880 by Camille Pissarro. At first glance I thought this paininting was a Monet. The style used by Pissarro is eerily similar to the impressionist works of Claude Monet. Pissarro was born in the West Indies (St. Thomas) in 1830 but traveled to Paris in 1855 where he became a prolific artist and a key player in the impressionist movement. This painting is part of the permanent collection a the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.

    Pissarro was an original and very important impressionist. Their works are very similar, as they shared the same love of landscape and the light.
