Steamboats in the Port of Rouen

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.

Steamboats in the Port of Rouen is a late 19th-century painting by Camille Pissarro. The oil-on-canvas painting depicts shipping in the port city of Rouen, France. Pissarro painted the work from his room in the Hôtel de Paris, which overlooked one of the city's quays. The painting is similar to Pissarro's Morning, An Overcast Day, Rouen, and both works are in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York City.
