CAMILLE PISSARRO (1830-1903)

 
<div>Camille Pissarro’s La Briqueterie Delafolie à Éragny (1884) offers a vivid rural scene from Éragny. The painting has never been to auction, instead gracing numerous exhibitions in Zurich, Paris, Brussels, Warsaw, and Santa Barbara since its creation. Documented as no. 776 in volume III of the catalogue raisonné by Joachim Pissarro and Claire Durand-Ruel Snollaerts (illustrated p. 514), it stands as a testament to Pissarro’s Impressionist legacy. </div><br><br><div> </div><br><br><div>The foreground features a polychrome meadow. The staccato green, ochre, and lilac brushstrokes in all directions convey the wind’s gentle movement through the field beneath a fleecy sky. In the distance, the Delafolie brickyard emerges, owned by Pissarro’s good friend and neighbor. The catalogue raisonné notes:  </div><br><br><div> </div><br><br><div>“The Delafolie brickyard at Éragny, refers to a local family-owned and operated brickyard. Mr. Delafolie wasn’t just a bricklayer—he was Pissarro’s neighbor and brewed his own cider. His cider was reportedly so good that Claude Monet once wrote to Pissarro asking who the merchant was and how he could order a keg for himself. Pissarro and Mr. Delafolie were good friends, and Pissarro often took advantage of Mr. Delafolie’s regular deliveries to Paris and Gisors to ship his paintings along with the bricks.”  </div><br><br><div> </div><br><br><div>Similar works reside in the Musée d’Orsay, the Walters Art Museum, and the Birmingham Museum of Art. This painting offers collectors a rare, well-traveled piece, embodying Pissarro’s intimate connection to Éragny’s landscape and community. </div> <div>Camille Pissarro’s La Briqueterie Delafolie à Éragny (1884) offers a vivid rural scene from Éragny.

La Briqueterie Delafolie à Éragny (1884) de Camille Pissarro offre une scène rurale vivante d'Éragny. Le tableau n'a jamais été vendu aux enchères, mais a fait l'objet de nombreuses expositions à Zurich, Paris, Bruxelles, Varsovie et Santa Barbara depuis sa création. Documenté sous le n° 776 dans le volume III du catalogue. 776 dans le volume III du catalogue raisonné de Joachim Pissarro et Claire Durand-Ruel Snollaerts (illustré p. 514), il témoigne de l'héritage impressionniste de Pissarro.





Le premier plan présente une prairie polychrome. Les coups de pinceau en staccato vert, ocre et lilas dans toutes les directions traduisent le doux mouvement du vent à travers le champ sous un ciel molletonné. Au loin, on aperçoit la briqueterie Delafolie, propriété d'un bon ami et voisin de Pissarro. Le catalogue raisonné note : "La briqueterie Delafolie est la propriété de l'ami et voisin de Pissarro :





"La briqueterie Delafolie à Éragny fait référence à une briqueterie familiale locale. M. Delafolie n'était pas seulement un maçon - il était le voisin de Pissarro et brassait son propre cidre. Son cidre était si bon que Claude Monet écrivit un jour à Pissarro pour lui demander qui était le marchand et comment il pouvait en commander un tonneau pour lui-même. Pissarro et M. Delafolie étaient de bons amis, et Pissarro profitait souvent des livraisons régulières de M. Delafolie à Paris et à Gisors pour expédier ses peintures avec les briques".





Des œuvres similaires se trouvent au Musée d'Orsay, au Walters Art Museum et au Birmingham Museum of Art. Cette peinture offre aux collectionneurs une pièce rare, qui a beaucoup voyagé et qui incarne le lien intime de Pissarro avec le paysage et la communauté d'Éragny.
