Pissarro

Pissaro And Monet are two Impressionist artist that had the same main theme, but Pissarro was less blurry than Monet.

In Pissarro paintings, there is a certain structure, a feeling of clarity. In the painting above, Chestnut Trees at Osny, there is structure to the trees, the individual branches are visible. In comparison to The Water Lily Pond by Monet, it is much clearer what the painter is painting. Pissarro made sure to use shadow in his paintings but unlike other Impressionist artist, shadow in his painting is in blocks; in most Impressionist works, shadow is dappled throughout the painting. Pissarro like Monet liked to use people as little as possible in his landscapes, if not at all.
