The Port of Rouen 2 1883

Camille Pissarro’s “The Port of Rouen 2” (1883) is a notable Impressionist painting depicting the bustling port of Rouen, France. Pissarro, a founding member of the Impressionist movement, masterfully utilizes vibrant colors and visible brushstrokes to convey the atmosphere of the scene. The painting showcases the Seine River, lined with boats and industrial buildings, while a bridge arches across the waterway. This work exemplifies Pissarro's focus on capturing the fleeting effects of light and movement, typical of Impressionism.
