An Apple Tree at Eragny 1887

"An Apple Tree at Eragny" is a classic example of Impressionist landscape painting, created in 1887 by Camille Pissarro, a leading figure in the movement. The work depicts a single apple tree, its branches reaching towards a cloudy sky, set against the backdrop of a rolling green field. Pissarro, known for his use of pointillism, applies small dabs of color to capture the shimmering light and fleeting effects of nature. This work exemplifies the Impressionist's fascination with capturing the immediacy of a particular moment, showcasing the vibrant colors and textures of the natural world.
