Impressions of Rain, Rouen, 1883
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Camille Pissarro captures the essence of a rainy day in 19th century France. In this black and white etching, Pissarro skillfully depicts the atmospheric conditions and the impact they have on both people and animals. The scene unfolds on a dimly lit street in Rouen Haute Normandie, as rain pours down from the darkened sky. A group of men and women huddle together under their umbrellas, seeking shelter from the inclement weather. Their clothing is carefully detailed, showcasing the fashion of that era. A horse-drawn vehicle passes by in the background, its majestic horses seemingly unaffected by the downpour. The contrast between these powerful creatures and their fragile human counterparts adds depth to Pissarro's portrayal of resilience amidst adversity. Pissarro's impressionist style shines through in his loose brushwork and delicate lines. He masterfully captures not only what he sees but also how he feels about it - conveying an emotional connection to nature's elements. This print serves as a testament to Pissarro's artistic genius and his ability to evoke emotion through his work. It transports us back in time to experience a moment frozen forever on paper – a snapshot of life during winter rains in Rouen. Displayed at The Met Museum, this piece stands as a reminder of our shared humanity across centuries – we all seek shelter from storms while finding beauty even amidst bad weather.
