Talk:Camille Pissarro

death
Did Pissarro die on 12th or 13th November? The article use both dates in different places. I've also found both on a web search. Can anyone find out a definitive answer? Stephen Turner 18:25, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

PedanticallySpeaking kindly asked this question on Reference desk. The following replies are copied from there. Stephen Turner 10:47, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)


 * Funny, the death date seems indeed to be controversial...I'm not able to do any serious library research right now, but I noticed that Encyclopedia Britannica says he died November 13, 1903, while the German Brockhaus encyclopedia has him listed as having died on November 12. If two such renowned encyclopedias differ, there's probably some real difficulty in pinpointing the date. I'm intrigued to dig up some biographies and have a look, but that will take some time... -- Ferkelparade π 23:01, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your research, Ferkelparade. In that case, I suppose the article should state that the date is in doubt, unless and until we can resolve it definitively. Stephen Turner 10:06, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I suppose he was found dead on 13th Nov and the doctor gave a time of death between the two days?

Camille Pissarro - What eye condition did he have in his later years?
Does anyone know what eye condition Camille Pissarro was diagnosed with in his later years that prevented him from painting outside? I can't seem to find reference to it.

You may be thinking of Monet who developed cataracts. Vaniac 18:18, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

editing this page
I am slightly confused as to exactly what this sentence means "They had eight children together, one who died at birth, a daughter when nine and a son when an adult." should it read? They had eight children together, though three died, one at birth, a daughter when she was nine and a son when he was an adult. please give me some feed back

Image
The image on the right of this page misspells Pissarro's last name. Can anyone find a better one? Vaniac 18:19, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

More Pissarros?
I find it rather annoying and inacurate that when one searches for "Pissarro" on Wikipedia that we are automatically redirected to the "Camille Pissarro" page. I expected to see a list of possibilities when I simply searched for the last name. There are several other prominant and noteworthy artists in Camille's liniage, yes? I don't believe a search for "Pissarro" should go directly here... there should be pages devoted to the other artists with the same last name (i.e. Lucien Pissarro; Ludovic-Rodo Pissarro; Paulémile Pissarro; H. Claude Pissarro; and Lélia Pissarro). --Arthistoryguy (talk) 23:54, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I would have to disagree on the redirection. The vast majority of people who search on "Pissarro" are looking for Camille Pissarro.  So the redirection makes sense.  A separate disambig page for the other artists might be in order, though to someone who isn't an art history expert, are any of them REALLY that notable or well-known?  You tell me, Arthistoryguy! :D --  Etacar11   13:36, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I weighed that point before I added my message. I agree that most folks would like to learn about Camille, but if they're intelligent enough to search for "Pissarro" with two S's and two R's -- how many times have I seen that misspelled? -- then I'm willing to bet that they can add the first name as well.  Ignoring the other artists is a tad like writing an encyclopedia and only including Bill Clinton, not Hillary, because he's more famous...  But I digress.  --Arthistoryguy (talk) 16:51, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I've added a disambiguation link at the top for people who simply search Pissarro. However Pissarro should link directly to this page because the vast majority of people will be looking for Camille (yes, even those who know how to spell it properly), as this is what he is most commonly known as. Oh, and when you feel the need to criticise the accuracy of people's spelling you may wish to reconsider your spelling of 'inaccurate'. Or 'Prominent' & 'lineage' for that matter ;-) --Gul e (talk) 08:36, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Ha! Well done Gul e. Let's not forget Pizzaro too...:)Modernist (talk) 13:37, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

anarchy
i think what the author of this piece means is "anarchism", when s/he writes "political anarchy", so i´ll cahnge it -- "political anarchy" means something different, to me at least ... Compromiso (talk) 08:23, 25 January 2009 (UTC) and thinking about it, though i don´t have any evidence, it seems to me implausible that he espoused anarchism "during his years in St. Thomas", as the text says: much more plausibly something he picked up in paris either around 1848 or 1870... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Compromiso (talk • contribs) 08:34, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

too much on london?
the painter´s time in london seems to be the biggest section in this article, not warranted by his artistic production. it´s true his paintings of english suburbia are interestingly different from his rural depictions of l´hermitage etc., but they´re not that important. Compromiso (talk) 08:23, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

rewrite using french and german wikipedia pages?
... which leads me to the main point. i was a little sad to read so little about the painter here. checking with the french and german pages, i find that in those, the painter´s life - if not so much his work - is covered in good detail and both pages make fascinating reading. it would be worth rewriting this english page from scratch from the french and german sources, but i wouldn´t like to do this myself. i´m only an amateur, i don´t have the time to check the sources, and if i did the rewrite then i´d get into trouble for cross-referencing with other wikipedia pages, and someone would sprinkle "citation needed" everywhere. any volunteers?

"Pissarro" Image
The image on this page titled "Pissarro" does not seem to fit in with the rest of Wikipedia's artistic content. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.174.197.105 (talk) 23:52, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Wikidata and Pissarro's painting
I am doing some work on connecting Pissarro's paintings on Commons to wikidata and connecting wikidata to the paintings, but there are a lot of paintings (more than 1500 are known) and therefore some help would be appreciated.

Works do to:
 * 1) checking infomations and correcting the wrong ones
 * 2) categorization the pictures
 * 3) adding wikidata
 * 4) looking for missing pictures

May be you can help in a way.

best wishes

Montfoucault
Pissaro seems to have painted many times at Montfoucault, but there is no article about it. Even the fr.wiki just links to Lassay-les-Châteaux (where Pissaro is not even mentioned). Here's one example held by the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge: Martinevans123 (talk) 22:31, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

School of Paris
I find that this article is categorized as "Jewish School of Paris". I see that from the article that he had Jewish roots, but although some people include some Impressionists in the "School of Paris", so far, elsewhere," Jewish School of Paris" generally refers to a group of somewhat later artists. I think. Seeking opinions, as I am working on the School of Paris page and pondering whether we need a separate one for Jewish School of Paris. Elinruby (talk) 23:12, 18 November 2017 (UTC)
 * The terms "School of Paris" and "Jewish School of Paris" are often used interchangeably (when speaking of the pre-WWII artists) and are probably best dealt with in a single article. Separate articles would contain much overlap, and virtually any modern artist who worked in Paris in the 20th century has been identified at some time or another with the "School of Paris". 19th-century artists who were still alive in the 1910s or '20s are almost always excluded, but some sources mention Pissarro, even though he died in 1903.

Introduction to page
Why is Pissarro called a Danish-French painter? He was born into a Jewish family of French, originally Portuguese, descent on the Caribbean island of Saint Thomas (then a Danish dependency). Pissarro never revoked this Danish citizenship, despite spending nearly his entire adult life in France. Does that really qualify him as a Danish? I am not sure what the rules are. https://www.clarkart.edu/microsites/pissarro-s-people/about-the-artist BlancheX (talk) 21:20, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
