Camille Pissarro
The Quai du Pothuis, Pontoise, 1872
Views of Pontoise and its environs were among Pissarro's most frequent subjects after 1866, the year he settled there. The bridge over the Oise River that gave the town its name is visible at the left ("pont" is French for bridge). Here, Pissarro portrays the town's traditional aspects (horse-drawn carts and peasant women) in a thoroughly modern, fully Impressionist style. |
