Vegetable Garden at the Hermitage, Pontoise
Vegetable Garden at the Hermitage, Pontoise (1879) was painted by the French artist Camille Pissarro. The real subject matter here is light, and there is no black in the palette, exemplifying Impressionist painting. The style also borders on Pointillism with its small, even dabs of colour. The effect of light brush strokes over dark gives it a shimmering quality.
