Happy Birthday Camille Pissarro: June 10, 1830

Studio CcowJacob-Abraham-Camille Pissarro was born in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, to Abraham Pissarro, a Portuguese Sephardic Jew, and Rachel Manzana-Pomie, from the Dominican Republic. Pissarro lived in St. Thomas until 12, when he went to a Paris boarding school. In 1855, Pissarro left for Paris, where he studied at various academic institutions (including the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and Academie Suisse) and under a succession of masters, such as Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Gustave Courbet, and Charles-Francois Daubigny. Corot is sometimes considered Pissarro's most important early influence. Monert is the godfather to Camille's youngest son, Paulemile Pissarro.
