Camille Pissarro (1830-1903) was a 19th century French impressionist painter.

Known as the "Father of Impressionism", he painted rural French life, particularly landscapes and workers in the fields. He then went to Paris to teach where some of his students were Paul Cezanne and Paul Gauguin.

He died in 1903 and was buried in Le Père Lachaise Cemetery, Paris, France.
