The Louvre 1901

Camille Pissarro's "The Louvre" (1901) is a quintessential example of Impressionism, showcasing the artist's fascination with capturing the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere. The painting depicts a view of the Seine River and the Louvre Museum in Paris, with the iconic building appearing in the distance. The brushstrokes are visible and short, giving the work a sense of movement and capturing the shimmering reflections on the water's surface. This work, now in a private collection, exemplifies Pissarro's characteristic use of color and his exploration of the Parisian cityscape.
