About the painting
This impressive view of a bustling fish market belongs to a series of paintings that Pissarro made during the summer of 1902 depicting the harbor at Dieppe. Borrowing from the Impressionist method of portraying a modern city from a high vantage point, he enlivened the scene with rich, vibrant colors applied with energetic, broken brushstrokes. Ever concerned with the fleeting effects of atmosphere, Pissarro painted the interpenetration of industrial steam with the clouds in the brilliant, sunlit sky.

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.
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.
