The House of the Deaf Woman and the Belfry at Eragny
Camille Pissarro · 1886
Why it's great
A cottage and a church belfry rise among trees in Éragny, the village where Pissarro lived for the last 20 years of his life. He painted in a pointillist way for a while, using tiny dots of color inspired by his young friend Seurat. The scene is peaceful and bright. It shows Pissarro experimenting even in his fifties.

Camille Pissarro was born on the island of St. Thomas in the Caribbean and moved to France as a teen. He was the oldest of the Impressionists and a father figure and teacher to many younger painters, including Cézanne. He painted farms, villages and city streets in France. He died in Paris in 1903. Pissarro came from a Sephardic Jewish family, and his background shaped his lifelong sympathy for ordinary working people.
