Old Houses at Eragny 1884

"Old Houses at Eragny" (1884) by Camille Pissarro is a quintessential example of Impressionism, a style that emphasized capturing fleeting moments and the effects of light. Pissarro, a pioneer of the movement, focused on the everyday scenes of rural life. This artwork depicts a cluster of quaint houses in Eragny, France, with a woman and children in the foreground. The painting's use of vibrant, broken brushstrokes and visible dabs of color captures the sunlit atmosphere of the scene.
