Born in the Virgin Islands in 1830 to a French-Jewish father and Creole mother, Camille Pissarro grew up largely in France in a boarding school before returning to the island of St Thomas to work in his parentsÕ retail store. By age 22, Pissarro left home to travel briefly with the Danish painter Fritz Melbye before moving to Paris in 1855. He studied art at several different schools, including the ƒcole des Beaux-Arts, under some of the most famous artists of the time, including Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot and Gustave Courbet. Corot proved to be a powerful influence on Pissarro, and his influence can be seen in much of his early work.
