Father's Day

Happy Father's Day.

The painting above is by Impressionist artist Camille Pissarro. Pissarro was known as a father figure within the Impressionist movement by virtue of his seniority but also his wisdom, kindness, and warm-hearted personality.

It wasn't just within the artist movement that he played a paternal role. In his personal life, Pissarro fathered eight children with his wife Julie Vellay. Over his career, he produced many portraits of them, a number of which we hold in our collections. Scroll down to see a handful of these striking yet tender representations of his children.

Perhaps inspired by their father, many of Pissarro's children also went on to become artists, including Lucien, Georges, and Félix.

Hendrick Cornelisz Vroom ,Battle between Dutch and Spanish ships on the Haarlemmermeer, 26 May 1573. 1621

The Battle of Haarlemmermeer was a naval engagement during the Eighty Years’ War in which a Spanish fleet, commanded by the count of Bossu, fought a Dutch fleet, commanded by the Sea Beggars, that was trying to break the Siege of Haarlem. After several hours of fight, The Sea Beggars were forced to retreat.

The siege of Haarlem was an episode of the Eighty Years’ War. From December 11, 1572 to July 13, 1573 an army of Philip II of Spain laid bloody siege to the city of Haarlem in the Netherlands, whose loyalties had begun wavering during the previous summer. After the naval battle of Haarlemmermeer and the defeat of a land relief force, the starving city surrendered and the garrison was massacred. The resistance nonetheless was taken as an heroic example by the Orangists at the sieges of Alkmaar and Leiden.
