拍品資料及來源

Painted in 1876, La Côte des Mathurins à l’Hermitage depicts the outskirts of Pontoise, where Pissarro lived from 1866 until 1883. Located some twenty-five miles northwest of Paris, Pontoise was built on a hilltop, with the river Oise passing through it, elements which made it a highly picturesque environment in which to paint en plein-air. The region offered Pissarro a wide range of subjects, from crowded semi-urban genre scenes, views of roads and factories, to farmers working on the fields and isolated landscapes devoid of human presence. His compositions at this time alternated mainly between depictions of the busy streets of Pontoise, and L’Hermitage (fig. 1), a rural district on its outskirts, where Pissarro lived with his family. In the present canvas, the focal points are the tall cypress tree in the centre and the large house - located on the rue de l’Hermitage - on the right, with the hillside of the Côte des Mathurins visible in the background.

Joachim Pissarro wrote about the motifs that characterised Pissarro’s Pontoise pictures: ‘These endless combinations of contrasts and variable forces lend themselves to a thematic three-part opposition – intrinsic to the suburban world – between town, country, and their limits, or the intermediary formations that bind them together: the fringe, the villages nearby, the paths that lead to the town, the river, the kitchen gardens – all forms of transitions between field and town. […] Tensions of this type – rural/urban/suburban; nature/architecture/path; fields/path/building(s); city/river/bridge – are absolutely central to Pissarro’s output in Pontoise, and clearly represent the focal points of his grasp of the antinomies inherent in suburban spaces. Out of these, Pissarro composed a poetical-pictorial ensemble with resounding evocative power’ (J. Pissarro, Camille Pissarro, London, 1993, pp. 114-115).

La Côte des Mathurins à l’Hermitage indeed unites the rural and suburban aspects in a harmonious composition. The scene is animated by the figures walking along the path and going about their daily activities. The simple, solid shape of the buildings stands in contrast to the rolling hills and the patchwork of fields seen in the distance. The tall tree in the centre heralds a compositional device often used by Cézanne, who lived nearby and who would become Pissarro's regular painting companion in the following years. Dating from 1876, the present work exemplifies the height of Pissarro’s Impressionist style, painting with his easel in the midst of the landscape, and capturing its essence in swift, spontaneous brushstrokes, without any preparatory sketches. Joachim Pissarro observed: ‘During his years in Pontoise, Pissarro was deeply involved with the Impressionist group and was seen not only as a committed Impressionist artist until at least 1882, but also as an ardent defender of the group’s function as an alternative to the Salons. […] He was the only artist to exhibit in all eight Impressionist exhibitions’ (ibid., p. 90).
