About the piece

Painted during his exile in London in 1871, Camille Pissarro’s 'The Avenue, Sydenham' is a quintessential early Impressionist work. The scene depicts a quiet suburban thoroughfare leading toward St Bartholomew's Church, using a bright, airy palette and spontaneous brushwork to capture the specific quality of light and movement in the budding spring landscape.
