Lucien Pissarro (20 February 1863 – 10 July 1944) was a landscape painter, printmaker, wood engraver and designer and printer of fine books. His landscape paintings employ techniques of Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism, but he also exhibited with Les XX. Apart from his landscapes he painted a few still lifes and family portraits. Until 1890 he worked in France, but thereafter was based in Britain. ==Biography== Pissarro was born on 20 February 1863 in Paris. He was the oldest of seven children of the Impressionist painter Camille Pissarro and his wife Julie (née Vellay).〔 He studied with his father, and was influenced by Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. In 1886 he exhibited at the last of the Impressionist exhibitions.〔 From 1886 to 1894 he exhibited with the Salon des Independents. He first visited Britain in 1870-1 during the Franco-Prussian War.
