Camille Pissarro, born in 1830 on the Caribbean island of St. Thomas, then a Danish colony, was the only painter to show in all eight Impressionist exhibitions between 1874 and 1886, and the movement’s steadying elder — “Father Pissarro” to his colleagues. Fleeing the Franco-Prussian War to south London in 1870–71, he painted the newly built suburbs there, including The Crystal Palace (1871), and with Monet studied the landscapes of Constable and Turner; Snow at Louveciennes dates from this same period, before Prussian soldiers destroyed most of the work left in his French studio.

From Pontoise, his home for much of 1872–84, Pissarro painted the market towns and tended fields of the Île-de-France — the terrain of Rabbit Warren at Pontoise, Snow (1879) — while mentoring the younger painters who sought him out. Cézanne, who worked beside him there, later identified himself as “pupil of Pissarro”; Gauguin also trained under him. Rural labor, as in Haymaking at Éragny (1892), remained his lifelong subject.
