Le village de Knocke 1894

Camille Pissarro's "Le village de Knocke" (1894) is a quintessential example of Impressionism. Pissarro, a pioneer of the movement, captures the village of Knocke in Belgium with a light and airy touch, using short, broken brushstrokes and a muted palette. The scene depicts a village nestled in the countryside, with the prominent church tower rising above the quaint houses. The painting is characterized by a sense of atmospheric depth, achieved through Pissarro's masterful use of color and light, creating a sense of tranquility and immersion in the natural world.
