Particulars
Meanwhile, in the life of Camille Jacob Pissarro
The whole lifeApril 1884
Settles at Éragny-sur-Epte
In April 1884 Pissarro and his family settled at Éragny-sur-Epte, a village near Gisors, where he lived for the rest of his life; he wrote to his son Lucien that the house was superb, with a garden and meadows. The house, garden, orchard, meadows and farm workers became recurring subjects for the last nineteen years of his career.
1894–1898
Travel: Netherlands
1897
The death of his son Félix
Pissarro's son Félix, born in 1874, died, one of the six of Camille's children who became painters.
1897
A trip to London: Bedford Park
In 1897 Pissarro painted in London again: several oils described as views of Bedford Park, Chiswick, in fact show the nearby Stamford Brook area, except for one of Bath Road.
1897–1903
City views from hotel windows
A recurring eye infection prevented Pissarro from working outdoors except in warm weather, so he began to paint street scenes from the windows of hotel rooms, often on upper floors for a broader view; this produced views of Rouen, Paris, Le Havre and Dieppe, and on his visits to London he did the same.
