Oil on canvas
Capturing the serene beauty of a snow-covered French village, H. Claude Pissarro’s Cantepie sous la neige uses color and texture to imbue the scene with the tranquility of winter. As a distinguished member of the Pissarro artistic dynasty, he continues the family’s legacy with his signature impasto technique. Thick, expressive brushstrokes create a rich, tactile quality, bringing depth to the snow-laden landscape. At the composition's heart, two figures meet along a winding road through town flanked by frost-covered trees, stone fences and charming houses. Pissarro’s skillful layering of blues, purples and soft greens infuses the scene with a luminous glow.
Hailing from a long lineage of artists, including Impressionist Camille Pissarro, Pissarro's artistic talents were cultivated early. He exhibited his first works at just 14 years old and later studied in Paris. Like many of his family predecessors, the scope of his work and talent is vast, ranging from engraving to lithography, from publishing to painting. His reputation as a painter quickly spread, resulting in a White House commission in 1959 to paint the portrait of President Eisenhower. While his style has evolved throughout his career, he is best known for his brightly colored impressionist works.
