Camille Pissarro (b Charlotte Amalie, St Thomas, Danish Virgin Islands, 10 July 1830; d Paris, 13 Nov 1903). Painter and printmaker. He was the only painter to exhibit in all eight of the Impressionist exhibitions held between 1874 and 1886, and he is often regarded as the father of the movement. He was by no means narrow in outlook, however, and throughout his life remained as radical in artistic matters as he was in politics. Thadée Natanson wrote in 1948: Nothing of novelty or of excellence appeared that Pissarro had not been among the first, if not the very first, to discern and to defend. The significance of Pissarros work is in the balance maintained between tradition and the avant-garde. Octave Mirbeau commented: M. Camille Pissarro has shown himself to be a revolutionary by renewing the art of painting in a purely working sense; at the same time he has remained a purely classical artist in his love for exalted generalizations, his passion for nature and his respect for worthwhile traditions. Jacob Camille Pissarro (Charlotte Amalie, na ilha de São Tomás nas Índias Ocidentais Dinamarquesas, hoje Ilhas Virgens Americanas, 10 de Julho de 1830 — Paris, 13 de Novembro de 1903) foi um pintor francês, confundador do impressionismo, e o único que participou nas oito exposições do grupo (1874-1886). ascendência O seu pai, Abraham Frederic Gabriel Pissarro, era português criptojudeu de Bragança, que no final do século XVIII, quando ainda pequeno, tinha ido com a sua família para Bordéus, onde na altura existia uma comunidade significativa de judeus portugueses refugiados da Inquisição. A mãe de Camille Pissarro era crioula e tinha o nome Rachel Manzano-Pomie. Com 11 anos Camille Pissarro foi enviado a Paris para estudar num colégio interno. Voltou para a ilha São Tomás, a fim de tomar conta do negócio da família. Algum tempo depois, a sua paixão pela pintura fê-lo mudar de vida: fez em 1852 amizade com o pintor dinamarquês, Fritz Melbye e a oportunidade de concretizar seu sonho surgiu com um convite para acompanhar uma expedição do Fritz Melbye, enviado pelo governo das Antilhas Dinamarquesas, para estuda a fauna e a flora da Venezuela, onde passou dois anos. Pissarro conquistou sua liberdade aos 23 anos. Em 1855, ele já estava em Paris com ajuda de Melbye, tentando iniciar sua carreira. O jovem antilhano fascinou-se com as telas de Camille Corot e travou amizade com Paul Cézanne, Claude Monet, Charles-François Daubigny, entre outros pintores impressionistas. Com Monet passou a sair para pintar ao ar livre, em Pontoise e Louvenciennes. Em 1861 casou com Julie Vellay, com quem teve oito filhos.
