The story of Rue Saint-Honoré in the Afternoon. Effect of Rain
Pissarro made the painting in 1897, towards the end of his career, when he had abandoned his experiments with Pointillism and returned to a looser Impressionist style. It belongs to a series of 1897-98 views painted from a window of the Grand Hôtel du Louvre, looking across the edge of the Place du Théâtre Français and along the rue Saint-Honoré; other paintings in the series show a similar scene in morning sunlight or in the shadows of evening. The canvas measures 81 by 65 cm and has been displayed at the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid since the museum opened in 1992.

Camille Pissarro
Jacob Abraham Camille Pissarro was a Danish-French Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist painter born on the island of Saint Thomas. His importance resides in his contributions to both Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. Pissarro studied from great forerunners, including Gustave Courbet and Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. He later studied and worked alongside Georges Seurat and Paul Signac when he took on the Neo-Impressionist style at the age of 54.
