Compared to the paintings themselves, Camille Pissarro paintings regarded light and movement to be of equal importance. Camille and Cezanne worked closely together for more than 25 years. They sometimes painted side by side on the very same subject. This was in Louveciennes and around Pontoise where Camille spent much of his working life.
The aim of Camille Pissarro paintings was to accurately record the sensations experienced when one looks at nature. To achieve this, several different styles of working were tried. These differing styles are most evident in the Boulevard Montmartre and Boulevard Montmartre paintings, both completed from almost the same spot of the painting venue.
There were 12 oil paintings among Camille Pissarro paintings dating from Camille's stay in Upper Norwood. Among these paintings are the Norwood Under the Snow, Lordship Lane Station, views of the Crystal Palace relocated from Hyde Park, Dulwich College, Sydenham Hill, All Saint's Church and a lost painting of St. Stephen's Church.
Jan Van Eyck paintings showed mastery in the technique of oil painting, so much so, that Jan Van Eyck was often mistaken to be the inventor of oil painting. Of course, this is farthest from the truth since painting with oil dates back as far as the Indian and Chinese painters of the 5th century.
Included among the Jan Van Eyck paintings was a panel painting of the Arnolfini Marriage Portrait. The detail and the use of light to evoke the room interior in the oil panel was considered remarkable and revolutionary for its time.
Jan Van Eyck paintings showed an adherence to realism and acute observation of the small details in the appearance of a sitter. A 1432 painting, Leal Souvenir, introduced motifs that were to become common in Jan's works, i.e., the stone parapet at the base of the canvas. It simulated marked or scarred stone, containing three separate layers of inscription. Each layer is rendered in an illusionistic manner, giving the impression they were chiselled onto the stone.
