Sunny afternoon, Pont Neuf

Date: 1901

The painting depicts a vibrant city scene with a lively crowd of people on a stone bridge over a river. We see horse-drawn carriages, pedestrians and changing city facades in the background. The combination of bridge and architecture creates a historical feel, while the river fills the lower part of the painting. The painting style is impressionistic, with visible brushstrokes and diffused light giving the painting dynamism and life.

Camille Pissarro (1830-1903). French Impressionist painter. He was obsessed with light and its effects and painted the same subject several times to examine the effect of time of day and season. This interest probably also led him to only paint landscapes and cities – there, he could take full advantage of natural light. As an impressionist, he used vivid and bright colours. Among painters, he was popular for his communicative nature – he did not hesitate to share his experiences and was not resistant to accepting new ideas from others. His work helped develop the impressionist theory and inspired other great painters of his time, like Cézanne, Matisse, or Gauguin. He also devoted himself to pointillism (see Seurat).
