La Place De La Concorde, Paris


Signed “H. Claude Pissarro” (Lower Right) Pastel On Card

The Architectural Beauty Of La Place De La Concorde Is Captured In All Of Its Glory In This Resplendent Parisian Cityscape By Hugues Claude Pissarro. The Celebrated Artist Renders The Site’S Notable Landmarks In Detail Along With Pedestrians In Brightly-Hued Attire, Showcasing His Deft Skill And Signature Vibrance In The Pastel Medium. Pissarro Captures The Detailed Edifices In The Distance And The Sculptural Beauty Of The Square’S Fountain, Using Speckled Swathes Of Lavender And Orange To Render The Light Of The Afternoon Sun Reflecting From The Cobblestone Streets.

Hailing From A Long Lineage Of Artists, Including Impressionist Camille Pissarro, Pissarro’S Artistic Talents Were Cultivated At An Early Age. He Exhibited His First Works At The Young Age Of 14 And Later Studied In Paris At The École Du Louvre And École Normale Supérieure. A 1959 White House Commission To Paint The Portrait Of President Eisenhower Cemented His Reputation As An Artist Of Renown, And His Work Has Since Been Featured In Important Exhibitions Throughout Europe And The United States. While His Style Has Evolved Throughout His Career, He Is Best Known For His Brightly Colored Works And Energetic Pastel Compositions. H. Claude Pissarro’S Works Have Been Exhibited And Collected Throughout The World, And They Remain Highly Coveted For Their Intimate Size And Relatable Subject Matter.
