Place Saint Lazare 1893

"Place Saint Lazare" (1893) by Camille Pissarro is a depiction of a bustling Parisian square, capturing the energy of a city in transition. The Impressionist painting showcases Pissarro’s signature pointillist style, using tiny dots of color to create a vibrant, almost shimmering effect. This style, pioneered by Georges Seurat, emphasizes the movement and light of the scene, with the figures and carriages blending into the surrounding atmosphere. The painting offers a glimpse into the daily life of late 19th-century Paris, showcasing the city’s evolving transportation and public spaces.
