Eragny
1890
Camille Pissarro captured this serene, hazy landscape in September 1890, as noted by the 'Eragny Sept 90' inscription scrawled at the bottom. He spent the last two decades of his life in the French village of Eragny-sur-Epte, and this piece perfectly shows his love for the rural light. Notice how the trees aren't detailed leaves, but rather soft, blue-green washes of color melting into the pale yellow glow of the sun? That's classic Impressionism—catching the fleeting feeling of the atmosphere rather than the exact shape of every branch.
