Camille Pissarro moved to Pontoise, north west to Paris in 1866. Since then he had lived here until 1884 except for some time later he lived in England to avoid the Franco-Prussian War. Landscape of farming community which shone under the bright sun light and its people living there; these are his favorite subjects and he left many paintings he had produced in Pontoise.
At around 1872 his friendship with Cezanne became even deeper, who also lived near Pointoise. They often painted together keeping their canvas side by side. Through this they influenced each other in their respective painting style. Pissarro produced together with Gauguin、Seurat, as well.
"Courtyard at the 'Rondest House', Pontoise"was produced in the inner court belonging to the owner of a grocery store, from whom Pissarro rented his house. Beyond the fense surrounding the garden sleepy farming community unfolds. This is the landscape that constituted part of his every day life, which he painted with warm affection.
