{"product_id":"rue-damiette-rouen-camille-pissarro","title":"Rue Damiette, Rouen - Camille Pissarro","description":"\u003cp\u003eA delicate watercolour and graphite study of the Rue Damiette in Rouen, capturing the atmospheric light and historic architecture of the French city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work by Camille Pissarro captures the narrow, medieval character of the Rue Damiette in Rouen. Executed in 1896, the piece reflects the artist's interest in the urban architecture of Normandy during his later years. Pissarro visited Rouen multiple times throughout the 1890s, drawn to the city's gothic structures and the interplay of light within its confined streets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition employs a combination of graphite and watercolour. Pissarro uses quick, gestural pencil marks to define the verticality of the tall, timber-framed buildings that crowd the street. These lines provide a structural framework, while the watercolour washes are applied with restraint to suggest the atmosphere and the play of shadow across the facades. The perspective draws the eye towards the centre of the composition, where the distant spires of the city emerge through the hazy light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the foreground, a few figures walk along the cobblestones, providing a sense of scale and daily activity. The palette is muted, relying on soft greys, ochres, and pale blues to convey the overcast conditions typical of the region. This study demonstrates Pissarro's ability to record the essence of a location through economical means. Rather than focusing on precise architectural detail, he prioritises the immediate visual sensation of the space. The work remains an example of his late-career focus on urban subjects, where he turned his attention from the rural fields of Eragny to the bustling, historic centres of French cities. The presence of the artist's signature and the location name at the bottom confirms this as a deliberate record of his travels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/impression-sunrise-claude-monet-1\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eImpression, Sunrise - Claude Monet — Claude Monet\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-otto-gerstenberg-max-liebermann\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Otto Gerstenberg - Max Liebermann — Max Liebermann\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Camille Pissarro","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58604564382031,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58604664881487,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58604664914255,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58604664947023,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58604664979791,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58604665012559,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58604665045327,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58604665078095,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58604665110863,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58604665143631,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58604665176399,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58604665209167,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Rue-Damiette-Rouen_Poster_CompositorV1_1788063765770.jpg?v=1788106105","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/rue-damiette-rouen-camille-pissarro","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
