## The artist

[Camille Pissarro](https://www.ochreeditions.com/artists/camille-pissarro), French, 1830–1903

Pissarro was born on the Caribbean island of Saint Thomas and moved to France in 1855. Encouraged by Corot, he became the elder statesman of Impressionism, the only painter to show at all eight of the group’s exhibitions, and a generous mentor to Cézanne and Gauguin.
