Title: The Côte des Bœufs at L’Hermitage
Description: The Côte des Bœufs at L’Hermitage is an oil-on-canvas landscape painting by the French Impressionist artist Camille Pissarro. It was painted in 1877, and displayed the same year at an exhibition now generally referred to as the third Impressionist exhibition. The picture is large by Pissarro’s measure, and he described the effort of painting it as the ‘work of a benedictine’. Pissarro was proud of the painting, and it remained in his family’s possession until 1913. It presently hangs in the National Gallery, London.
