Introduction
Camille Pissarro was the only artist to show his work in all eight Impressionist group exhibitions, making him the central pillar of the group. He is also a supportive friend and mentor to influential artists such as Paul Cézanne and Paul Gauguin. Bouquet de Lilas is a rare floral-themed painting by Camille Pissarro. Although painted indoors, it demonstrates the delicate illusion of an outdoor garden through leaves resembling ivy on the wallpaper, reflecting a deep longing of people for nature in the industrial era. With skilled brushwork, he presents rich textures, depicting flowers in natural light as vibrant, lively, and diverse, highlighting the abundant poetry in everyday life.
