Camille Pissarro (b. St. Thomas 1830 - d. Paris 1903) was a French Impressionist painter.
In 1855, he came to Paris; in 1859-1861, he attended the Académie Suisse and formed friendships with Claude Monet, Guillaumin and Paul Cezanne.
Pissarro’s friend, the painter Daubigny, recommended him to the art dealer Durand-Ruel, who did much for promotion of the Impressionists’ works; he would organize Pissarro’s exhibitions in Paris (1883) and New York (1886). [1]
An active, productive Master of his art until the end, Camille Pissarro succumbed to blood poisoning on 13 November, 1903 in Le Havre (?), France; survived by sons Lucien, Georges, Félix, Ludovic-Rodolphe, Paul Emile; and daughter, Jeanne. [2]
