PISSARRO, Camille: Street in Pontoise (Rue de Gisors)

🖼 Street in Pontoise (Rue de Gisors), 1868
Vienna, Austria

Soft brushwork captures Madonna and Child in intimate tenderness, rendered with Impressionist light and warmth. Pissarro's reinterpretation of Michelangelo's composition demonstrates how modern technique could revitalize Renaissance imagery, bridging classical mastery with contemporary vision.
