Signed “H. Claude Pissarro” (lower right)
Oil on canvas
The Pissarro family of French painters holds one of the most long-lasting and significant legacies in the history of art. This brilliantly hued composition by French artist Hugues Claude Pissarro is an extraordinary addition to that legacy. Pissarro’s masterful technique, characterized by swift, vibrant brushstrokes and a rich palette, reflects the profound influence of his father, Paulémile, and his grandfather, the legendary Impressionist Camille Pissarro. His distinctive impasto technique brings a multi-hued Venetian waterway to life, blending texture and color with extraordinary skill. Under a radiant sky, Pissarro’s vision of Venice shimmers with brilliance. A gondola glides gracefully across the gleaming waters, guided by its gondolier amid the sparkling reflections of colorful buildings and shimmering light—a testament to the grandeur of this iconic city.
Pissarro began painting at a young age, learning his craft from his father. 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.
