Lumisateen tein osittain vanhalla hammasharjalla roiskimalla ja osittain siveltimellä. Maalasin suurimman osan maisemasta vesivärein, piirsin sen jälkeen ääriviivoja akryylimusteella ja maalasin jouluvalot akryyliväreillä. Laveerasin ensin violetin taivaan ja levitin maskinestettä tien nopeusrajoitukseen. Snowy Landscape evokes the elegance and graphic power of those Japanese prints, in the overall simplicity of the composition and in those curving branches of the central apple tree, which appears almost to dance in the breeze.Hahmottelin maiseman osittain muistin ja osittain valokuvan perusteella ensin luonnoskirjaan, sitten isompaan kokoon ruutupaperille ja lopuksi puhtaamman version vesiväripaperille. I am pleased with my effects of snows and floods these Japanese artists confirm my belief in our vision.' Monet, Rodin and I are enthusiastic about the show. He described the 1893 exhibition of 300 prints by Hiroshige and Utamaro at Durand-Ruel's Paris gallery as 'admirable', adding: 'Hiroshige is a marvellous Impressionist. ![]() Pissarro was as effusive as many of his peers. I have eight things going, I am waiting impatiently for snow.'īut another reason he may have relished painting hibernal scenes was the Japanese prints that were such a cornerstone of the Impressionist movement, many of them evocatively picturing snow. A year after painting Snowy Landscape, he wrote to Lucien: 'My pictures are advancing. Wherever he went, he relished the chance to paint snow, and winter scenes were also popular with collectors. Pissarro's letters from Éragny in that period are full of money worries, even after he had rejected Neo-Impressionism and returned to the more conventional – and saleable – Impressionist style of Snowy Landscape.Ĭamille Pissarro (1830–1903) The National Gallery, London Durand-Ruel had even fewer paintings to sell and was experiencing financial difficulties. The more conceptual, scientific approach meant his production had slowed. ![]() His insecurities might have something to do with the major shifts of the previous decade – his experiments in the late 1880s with the Neo-Impressionism of Paul Signac and Georges Seurat. It is said that money is scarce, but that is only relatively true doesn't Monet sell his work, and at very high prices, don't Renoir and Degas sell? No, like Sisley, I remain in the rear of the Impressionist line.' 'Moreover, as a result of this incomprehension I myself am ending up wondering whether my work isn't poor and empty, without a hint of talent. ![]() In a letter to Lucien written in February 1895, around the time he painted Snowy Landscape, he expressed his personal worries and reflected on the mixed reception for his and his friends' paintings, even 20 years after the first Impressionist exhibition of 1874: '…even in Paris where I am known, known by everybody, people scorn or don't understand them,' he wrote. Indeed, even though he was having annual shows with Durand-Ruel by then, the greater success of his peers clearly bothered him and caused him to doubt his work. Morning Sunlight on the Snow, Éragny-sur-Epteġ895, oil on canvas by Camille Pissarro (1830–1903) 'I haven't been able to restrain myself from painting, so beautiful are the motifs that surround my garden,' he wrote to his dealer Paul Durand-Ruel. From the yellow of the sun and its reflections on the snow on the meadows, to the violet and earthy-green branches of the most prominent tree, the grey-blue of the distant buildings and spire in the small village of Bazincourt, and the pinks and lilacs in patches across the picture from foreground to sky, Pissarro creates tremendous chromatic subtlety from just a few paint tubes.įrom the moment Pissarro began renting the house and farm at Éragny, 70 kilometres from Paris, in March 1884, he was enchanted. Despite the luminous tone across the picture – like the even glow of light hitting virgin snow – the colours, pure and mixed, vary hugely. Look closely at The Fitzwilliam's Snowy Landscape at Éragny, with an Apple Tree, and you'll struggle to find much pure white.
