Pissarro was born in Paris. He was the oldest of seven children; the son of Impressionist painter Camille Pissarro and his wife Julie. He studied with his father and—like his siblings Georges and Felix—he spent his formative years surrounded by his father’s fellow artists such as Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir who frequented the Pissarro home.
