What to expect from the Pissarro: Father of Impression exhibition

Explore the works of Camille Pissarro, one of the most celebrated artists of nineteenth-century France and a leading figure in the Impressionist movement.

Pissarro was hugely influential and inspired many artists whose names we are remarkably familiar with including Degas, Monet, Seurat, Signac, and Van Gogh. Cezanne said of Pissarro "he was like a father to me" while Gauguin commented "he was one of my masters".
