Description: Camille Pissarro (1830-1903) is known as one of the most important figures in French Impressionism, but few people know that a Danish Golden Age painter played an important role in the origins of the Impressionist movement. Through the exhibition 'Pissarro. A meeting on St. Thomas', Ordrupgaard tells the story of Pissarro?s early years, and of how the Danish Golden Age painter Fritz Melbye (1826-1869) came to play a crucial role in Pissarro?s life and art.0'Pissarro. A meeting on St. Thomas' presents an extensive number of early works by Pissarro and Melbye, painted during their years together in the Danish West Indies and Venezuela. With paintings, sketches and drawings loaned from museums and collections around the world, the exhibition shows how Pissarro built upon his early years of learning with Melbye as his mentor, and how he applied these lessons in Impressionism.00Exhibition: Ordrupgaard, Charlottenlund, Denmark (10.03.-02.07.2017).
