Lola de Valence,

Road to Marly,

Camille Pissarro painted this tranquil scene soon after joining his friends and fellow Impressionists Monet, Renoir, and Sisley in the countryside northwest of Paris, where they had recently settled. As a group, the artists combined inspiration from past generations with their own innovative ideas to create a style characterized by bold, broken brushwork and shimmering […]

Autumn on the Seine, Argenteuil,

Claude Monet executed this painting of the Seine near Argenteuil, northwest of Paris, shortly after his arrival there in 1871—likely from the small boat he had converted into a floating studio. He included the Château Michelet and other recognizable architectural landmarks. The small, delicate brushstrokes identify this work as belonging to the “high” phase of […]

Houses of Parliament in the Fog,

In the early 1900s, Impressionist painter Claude Monet made a series of views of the Houses of Parliament in London. He worked from a balcony of Saint Thomas’s Hospital, directly across the River Thames. In this view, the Thames is covered by thick fog, and the Houses of Parliament loom in the distance. As is […]

Banks of the Loing, near Saint-Mammès (Bords de Loing, près Saint-Mammès),

On Stage III,

Snowscape with Cows at Montfoucault,

His limited tonal palette of whites, grays, and greens conveys the stillness of a cold winter day to great effect. The thick application of white paint gives a tangible sense of heavy snow weighing down the barren tree boughs. Pissarro […]

Woman Arranging Her Hat,

Renoir painted Woman Arranging Her Hat during the second half of his career, when he began to model his subjects with broader brushstrokes and louder colors than he had used in the calmer Impressionist style of his early years. During this later period, Renoir developed an interest in the subject of women and children relaxing […]

Still-Life with Apples,

While celebrated for his expressive portraits and vibrant outdoor scenes, Renoir, like his fellow Impressionists, turned to painting still lifes as both an exercise in light and form and because they were very marketable. Still Life with Apples is a beautiful example of Renoir’s late painterly technique and his ability to capture a few apples […]

Bouquet of Flowers (Bouquet de Fleurs),

When rain confined Camille Pissarro to the indoors, he sometimes painted lush bouquets of flowers gathered by his wife, who grew masses of them in her garden. Her pink peonies were her great pride; the large blossoms anchoring this bouquet may be examples of such blooms. The green leaves strewn to the left of the […]
