Abstract
<jats:p>This publication delves into the artistic relationship between Camille Pissarro and his sons Lucien and Georges, expanding on the findings of a 2013 study by the Courtauld Institute of Art. Through technical analysis and new research, the study compares the materials and techniques used by the Pissarro family, focusing on their evolving artistic practices. While Camille’s direct and innovative style influenced Lucien’s more restrained but accomplished approach, Georges remains a less-studied figure. This work explores the family dynamics, the sharing of artistic materials, and the use of underpaintings, specifically examining seven Pissarro family paintings in the collection of the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields. The study sheds new light on Camille’s mentorship of his sons and the subtle distinctions in their artistic journeys, highlighting the rich legacy of this remarkable artistic family.</jats:p>
