The Seine at Bougival 1870

Camille Pissarro's "The Seine at Bougival" (1870) is a captivating Impressionist landscape painting depicting a serene view of the Seine River. The scene is characterized by the soft, hazy light of dusk, with a subtle pink hue in the sky that reflects in the rippling water. Pissarro masterfully captures the atmosphere of the moment, employing short, visible brushstrokes to create a sense of movement and light. This painting is a prime example of Pissarro's fascination with capturing the effects of light and weather on nature, a hallmark of Impressionist art.
