"Garden and Henhouse at Octave Mirbeau's, Les Damps," Camille Pissaro, 1892.
Jacob Abraham Camille Pissarro (1830-1903) was a Danish-French Impressionist was born on the island of St. Thomas, in the Virgin Islands, at the time a Danish possession. He was one of the absolute great artists of his time, developing from Impressionism to Post-Impressionism to Neo-Impressionism and heaven knows what else. Plus, his progeny includes a number of artists, including a grandchild currently living and still producing art.
Octave Mirbeau (1848-1917) was a prominent French journalist and art critic who was a friend and champion of Pissaro and others like Renoir, Bonnard, Van Gogh, Rodin, Monet, Cezanne, Gauguin...so many recognizable names. He was also a playwright and novelist, of works that were fairly scandalous in their day (and still have a punch today). I've read his "Diary of a Chambermaid" and it's quite an experience. He was a major figure in the Decadent and avant-garde movements.
But dang, he had a nice house.
From the Museum Barberini, Potsdam.
