Beau temps à Clécy(Good weather in Clécy)

Signed “H. Claude Pissarro” (lower right)
Oil on canvas

A mother and child sit waterside on a bright day in this colorful oil on canvas by the renowned French artist Hughes Claude Pissarro. The charming scene comes alive with swift brushwork and brilliant light, exemplifying the artist’s unique style. Like the French Impressionists who influenced him, including his grandfather, the legendary Impressionist Camille Pissarro, H. Claude turned to everyday life for his inspiration, visiting verdant parks, crowded beaches and picturesque villages such as this one to create works that were entirely modern in both their subject matter and their style. 

The legacy of the Pissarro family - now in its fourth generation - is among the most long-lasting and impactful in the history of art. Apart from its famed progenitor, Camille, H. Claude is perhaps the most highly lauded member of this artistic clan, each of whom has carried on the family's impressionistic tradition. This colorful oil exemplifies the vibrantly hued, impressionistic views that dominate his oeuvre.

The work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
