The story of Boulevard Montmartre, Spring

In the late 1890s, troubled by an eye infection that made plein-air painting impossible, the elderly Camille Pissarro rented hotel rooms above Paris's Grands Boulevards and painted the city from his window. The Boulevard Montmartre series — fourteen canvases covering every season, weather, and hour of day — is the most ambitious sustained Parisian view in Impressionism. The Spring canvas catches the boulevard in soft afternoon light, the chestnut trees just leafing out, top-hatted figures dotting the wide pavements. The series is split today between the Hermitage, the National Gallery in London, the Met, and the Israel Museum.

Camille Pissarro

Jacob Abraham Camille Pissarro was a Danish-French Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist painter born on the island of Saint Thomas. His importance resides in his contributions to both Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. Pissarro studied from great forerunners, including Gustave Courbet and Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. He later studied and worked alongside Georges Seurat and Paul Signac when he took on the Neo-Impressionist style at the age of 54.
