Upper Norwood, Crystal Palace, London 1870

"Upper Norwood, Crystal Palace, London" is an 1870 oil painting by Camille Pissarro. The painting depicts a street scene in Upper Norwood, a suburb of London, with the Crystal Palace in the distance. Pissarro, a key figure in the Impressionist movement, captures the bright light and dappled shadows of the scene with short, broken brushstrokes. The painting is a fine example of his interest in depicting everyday life and the changing urban landscape. This piece is a great example of Impressionism in landscape painting.
