15. Camille Pissarro, "Orchard in Bloom, Louveciennes," 1872
from Daubigny, Monet, Van Gogh · host Taft Museum of Art
After the Franco-Prussian War, Pissarro painted this blooming orchard, a subject then strongly associated with Daubigny. In Pissarro’s orchard picture, the laboring peasants and freshly turned soil anchor the image more firmly in the here and now. However, just like Daubigny, Pissarro worked outdoors, delicately brushing the pale colors of blossoms onto his canvas and celebrating spring and renewal.
