Soft patches of blues and greens create a harmonious blend of colors, suggesting the gentle undulation of the terrain and the foliage's texture. The sky, rendered in pale and deeper blues, gives a sense of depth and openness to the scene.There's an intimate, almost idyllic quality to the landscape, typical of Pissarro's works, which often focused on rural settings emphasizing natural elements and the subtleties of light.

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.
