French 'Impressionist' painter Jacob-Abraham-Camille Pissarro or Camille Pissarro was born to rich Portuguese Jewish merchant Abraham Gabriel Pissarro and his wife Rachel Manzano on July 10, 1830, at the Caribbean Island of St. Thomas, West Indies. He lived here until the age of 12. He then went to a boarding school in Paris in 1855, where the director encouraged Pissarro to bring up his creative talent. Camille expertly started painting and created the masterpieces he is known for today. He was a sincere observer and a rigorous painter. His art depicts his keen creative style. Owing to his fascination for greenery and this nostalgic place, he would all the time return to St. Thomas Island when free. Initially, he sketched coconut trees, exotic plants, donkeys, carts, and the daily life around him, such as Negro women washing and carrying jugs & baskets on their head. He ran away from home with Fritz Melbye, a Danish painter, and started painting under his guidance. In 1871, the artist took a house at Pontoise, a city in the Northwest of Paris, France. Camille Pissarro loved to paint the landscapes in and around Pontoise. One of his most noted paintings in the series was "The garden of Pontoise."
