Description
The Public Garden at Pontoise. Artist: Camille Pissarro (French, Charlotte Amalie, Saint Thomas 1830-1903 Paris). Dimensions: 23 5/8 x 28 3/4 in. (60 x 73 cm). Date: 1874.
Pissarro's paintings of the mid-1870s are largely devoted to the fields and roads near his home in Pontoise. Here, he turned to a more urban subject, of the type favored by colleagues such as Monet and Renoir: the town's public garden. The view across the Montmorency plain toward Paris may be glimpsed at left, beyond the spire of Pontoise's Notre-Dame church. But rather than emphasizing the vista, Pissarro focused on the park's terraces, populated by well-dressed bourgeois and their children. He exhibited a similar scene, painted the year previously (State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg), at the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
