![Camille Pissarro - Barges at Pontoise [1876] by Gandalf's Gallery](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_t1i59tTQtS-126GFIwOrRuPdYf2oUAmrNdYewPU_yOjEQ2cKHsG7tT4YDwBWrfi9HlFkd-ultMShFEmAZFxdTSPoQoUWYCu1ZKH77bsJ3e2tFOsTOKmxWsaPaNIgHmuA=s0-d)
In 1872 Pissarro and his family settled in the village of Pontoise. Of the six views he painted in 1876 of the barges and factories along the banks of the Oise, this one is stylistically the boldest. While each of the brushstrokes serves a descriptive function, attention to detail is minimal.
