Description

Born to a French-Jewish family on St. Thomas island in the Caribbean, Pissarro painted this monumental landscape when he was desperately poor and struggling to sell his paintings. It depicts a man slumbering in the sun-dappled backwoods of the Hermitage, a rural village near Pontoise, where the artist had been living since 1872. Restricting his palette to pure hues, Pissarro applied brushstrokes in systematic diagonal patterns, producing an effect that he likened to knitting. This canvas was included in the fourth Impressionist exhibition of 1879.

I finally finished my (pre-chiseling) house in Vintage Story

Sneaky 'cellar' under my 'table' thanks to the power of slabs.

All praise The Slab

My Slab of Rest elevated on other Slabs

My somewhat haphazard farm:

In construction: seed shed and water well

The path towards a distant trader and yet further adventures....

@zooarchaeologyatdinner @purplesaline since you've been sharing your progress with me, this is my mapless save where I have been procrastinating on getting out of the Stone Age for some 80 hours >.<

RENOIR, Pierre-Auguste

French painter (b, 1841, Limoges, d. 1919, Cagnes-sur-Mer)

Renoir was exceptionally sensitive to details: earrings, a flower in the hair, and a neck scarf play no less role in his heroines' outfits and his paintings' colour schemes than do the dress or the coiffure. The present portrait is dominated by the fan.

The painting was a great success at the seventh Impressionist exhibition in 1882.
