Farm and Steeple at Sunset 1892

Camille Pissarro's "Farm and Steeple at Sunset" (1892) depicts a picturesque rural scene bathed in the warm hues of the setting sun. The prominent steeple of a church dominates the horizon, while a cluster of trees and a farm house in the foreground add depth and texture. Pissarro's signature pointillist technique, characterized by small, distinct dots of color, creates a shimmering effect, capturing the ephemeral beauty of twilight. This work exemplifies the artist's fascination with the changing effects of light and his dedication to capturing the essence of everyday life in the French countryside.
