More about this artwork

"Two Women Chatting by the Sea, St. Thomas" (1856) is a captivating painting by Camille Pissarro, a key figure in both the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements, depicting an everyday scene with profound warmth and a tender realism. At the heart of this artwork are two women caught in a moment of casual interaction. The setting is a serene seaside landscape in St. Thomas, a place where Pissarro spent his youth. This evocative landscape provides a subtle yet vibrant backdrop that mirrors the tranquil atmosphere of the moment.The composition focuses on the two women, one holding a parasol and the other a basket, suggesting perhaps a pause during a stroll or while engaged in daily tasks. The open space around them, the gentle roll of distant hills, and the calm sea extend the sense of peacefulness. Pissarro’s use of soft, natural light and loose brushwork helps to create a sense of immediacy and intimacy, inviting the viewer to step into the quiet scene and perhaps imagine their soft conversation.This painting not only showcases Pissarro’s nascent skills and artistic inclinations but also reflects the diverse cultural influences of the Caribbean on his work.

Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing. — Camille Pissarro

Camille Pissarro (1830-1903) was born on St.Thomas (now the US Virgin Islands) to a Portuguese father and a Dominican mother. He went to Paris to study art at Ecole des Beaux-Arts. He was an early pioneer of pointillism and neo-impressionism and later became a mentor of many famous impressionist painters including Cezanne, Manet, Renoir, and Gauguin. His paintings depicted rural and urban French landscapes and lifestyle. Many of his works politically captured images of peasants and laborers. Today, he is considered the father of impressionism.
