Biography: Camille Pissarro was born in 1830 in Charlotte Amalie, on the island of St. Thomas, in Danish West Indies (now the Virgin Islands). He died in 1903 at the age of 73 in Le Havre, France. His father was a Sephardic Jew of Portuguese heritage, while his mother was from the Dominican Republic and of Spanish heritage. He grew up speaking three languages, French, English, and Spanish. Pissarro was sent to boarding school in Paris for awhile at the age of 12, where his abilities as an artist first gained notice. At first, his parents wanted him to follow a business career, but after he ran away to Venezuela as a young man became resigned to pursing a career in art. He returned to Paris in 1855 to study art at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and the Academie Suisse. The most important early influence on Pissarro was the landscape painter Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. Other important painters who he studied under include Gustav Courbet and Charles-Francoise Daubigny. Pissarro is often credited with being the "father of Impressionism" and served as a mentor for many of the younger Impressionists. In 1874 Pissarro joined with Claude Monet to organize the first of the Impressionist exhibitions. Pissarro was eclipsed by some of the more famous Impressionists and didn't gain any financial success from his art until late in life. Click any thumbnail to view a larger version or make a purchase.
