Pont Neuf, the Statue of Henri IV, Sunny Weather, Morning 1900

This 1900 painting, "Pont Neuf, the Statue of Henri IV, Sunny Weather, Morning" by Camille Pissarro, is a quintessential example of Impressionism. The work depicts a scene from Paris, showcasing the iconic Pont Neuf bridge and the statue of Henri IV. Pissarro's use of visible brushstrokes and an emphasis on light and color, particularly the soft, warm tones of the sunrise, are characteristic of the Impressionist style. The painting captures a fleeting moment in time, focusing on the play of light and shadow on the buildings, water, and surrounding landscape. It exemplifies Pissarro's mastery of this artistic movement and his enduring fascination with the city of Paris.
