Table de lecture impressionniste n°4 - Port de Rouen, Saint-Sever

Port de Rouen, Saint-Sever (Harbor of Rouen,
Saint-Sever), Camille Pissarro, 1896
This information panel belongs to Impressionist itinerary: “The moment".
Nothing is bucolic in those paintings where you can see clear and changing skies, warehouses, factories chimney: industrial landscapes of the 19th century that do not exist anymore nowadays. The Seine has become the place where the famous Armada is organized, a new quarter with its marina, a port of call for cruise passengers and a great esplanade for rollerbladers.
