Camille Pissarro (1830-1903) is often referred to as the "Father of Impressionism". He grew up on the Antillean island of St. Thomas and was sent by his parents to a boarding school in France at the age of 11. In 1855 he moved to Paris and joined Corot and the school of Barbizon. He studied at the Paris Academy and the Académie Suisse and met Claude Monet and Paul Cézanne.
From 1865/66 he was in close contact with Pierre Auguste Renoir, Sisley and Manet, from 1885 with Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. Pissaro repeatedly reoriented his style and painted mainly landscapes and city views. The painter and graphic artist participated in all eight Parisian Impressionist exhibitions until 1882 and was the oldest and most productive of his artist colleagues. One of his most famous paintings is "Boulevard Montmarte at Night" from 1893.
