View Through a Window, Eragny 1888

"View Through a Window, Eragny" (1888) by Camille Pissarro, showcases the artist's mastery of the pointillist technique. The work, now residing in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, depicts a picturesque rural landscape. From a window, the viewer sees a tranquil scene of rolling hills, grazing cows, and a woman tending to chickens in a courtyard. Pissarro's distinct style uses small dots of color to capture the shimmering light and atmosphere of the French countryside, creating a sense of depth and movement. This artwork is a classic example of Impressionism and serves as a testament to Pissarro's influence on the development of modern art.
