The Louvre, Winter Sunshine, Morning 1900

"The Louvre, Winter Sunshine, Morning" (1900) by Camille Pissarro (1830-1903) is a depiction of the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, viewed from across the Seine River. The painting captures the delicate light of a winter morning, showcasing Pissarro's signature pointillist style. The artist's use of small, distinct brushstrokes, creating a shimmering effect, captures the reflection of the sun on the water and the warmth of the approaching day. The scene is peaceful, with a few figures walking along the riverbank, their presence adding a sense of scale to the vast architectural background. This Impressionist work exemplifies Pissarro's dedication to capturing the fleeting moments of daily life.
