L’Avenue de l’Opéra 1898

"L’Avenue de l’Opéra" is a notable work by Camille Pissarro, a prominent Impressionist painter. Completed in 1898, this oil on canvas depicts a bustling scene in Paris, showcasing the Avenue de l'Opéra. Pissarro's signature pointillist technique, characterized by short, distinct brushstrokes, adds a vibrant texture to the image. The painting captures the dynamic movement of horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians, highlighting the dynamism of Parisian life at the turn of the 20th century. This work, typical of his later career, showcases Pissarro's fascination with capturing the modern world in an impressionistic style.
