Camille Pissarro (b. St. Thomas 1830 - d. Paris 1903) was a French Impressionist painter.
In 1855, Pissarro came to Paris; in 1859-1861, he attended the Académie Suisse and formed friendships with Claude Monet, Armand Guillaumin and Paul Cezanne. His works were present at all Impressionist exhibitions. In 1896, he met in Paris Joaquin Clausell.
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]
