A beautiful introduction to what was to become Impressionism, Camille Pissarro's 'Jalais Hill, Pontoise' explores light and shadow, using a palette with a lot of lush green and earthy brown tones. His inspiration from artists like Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot and John Constable is evident in this piece.
