Landscape in Pontoise by Pissarro

Pissarro and his family lived at Pontoise, north-west of Paris, from 1866 and again from 1872 to 1882. The hamlet of L’Hermitage – just below the town on the road to Auvers – became his most-painted patch of ground. This 1874 view looks across the lane to a cluster of working stone houses, with kitchen gardens, fruit trees and a working horse providing the foreground.

It is one of dozens of paintings Pissarro made of these same houses over the decade, painted at the height of his collaboration with Cezanne (who was also working from the village). As an oil painting reproduction it reads as warm, lived-in and quietly rural – a strong classical impressionist art picture for a room that wants countryside rather than spectacle.

The leaf-green, stone, terracotta and sky-blue palette suits Perth, Fremantle and York rooms styled in chalk, oat, eucalypt green, sage or warm white. It anchors a sitting room, hallway, dining room or country-style kitchen, paired with rattan, oak, woven jute, linen and aged brass. It also reads beautifully in a study above a leather chesterfield.

Available as stretched canvas, white floating frame, slim black framed print or archival lustre paper. Each impressionist art reproduction is hand-finished in our Perth workshop and shipped Australia-wide on rigid backing, ready to hang.
