Camille Pissarro Paintings And Jan Van Eyck Paintings

By Darren Hartley


Camille Pissarro paintings consider light and movement to be as important as the paintings themselves. Camille was a French member of the Impressionist group, less well known than Monet and Degas, but almost regarded to be the father figure of the group.

The aim of Camille Pissarro paintings was to accurately record the sensations experienced when one looks at nature. To achieve this, several different styles of working were tried. These differing styles are most evident in the Boulevard Montmartre and Boulevard Montmartre paintings, both completed from almost the same spot of the painting venue.

In 1892, Camille Pissarro paintings were done in Kew Gardens and Kew Green in England. In 1897, Camille produced several more oil paintings of Bedford Park, Chiswick. More mature Camille Pissarro paintings display an empathy for peasants and labourers, with evidences of Camille's radical political leanings.

Is Jan Van Eyck the inventor of oil painting? His Jan Van Eyck paintings seem to reflect so. However true that Jan was an early master of the oil painting medium, it remains to be a fact that painting with oil dates back to the Indian and Chinese paintings of the 5th century.

Jan Van Eyck paintings included the Arnolfini Marriage Portrait. This panel painting was famed for being one of the first panels to be executed in oil rather than in the standard tempura, which was the popular medium of the period.

Jan Van Eyck paintings widely tested the possibilities of oil painting. One layer of paint was not left to dry before the next layer is applied. The most famous work of Jan is the retable for the St. Bavo's Cathedral in Ghent. Consisting of 20 panels, its central piece was The Adoration of the Lamb of God. This work was widely considered to be one of the highlights of the Northern Renaissance movement.
