About the piece

Created in 1888, this masterful oil painting by Camille Pissarro captures the industrial landscape of Rouen through a soft, atmospheric lens. Using a meticulous pointillist technique, Pissarro renders the hazy effects of fog over the water, where the rigid lines of chimneys and docks dissolve into a luminous, muted palette typical of late 19th-century French landscape painting.
