Rain Effect is a 1879 by Camille Pissarro, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a lone figure walking through a rainy field. Tall trees line the background, their branches blurry and wet-looking. The ground is muddy, with puddles and uneven paths. The whole scene feels hazy, like the rain is still falling. The artist used loose, sketchy lines to suggest movement and weather. The print looks almost like a quick sketch, with no sharp details. Look up Impressionism next to see how artists like this one captured light and motion.
Jacob Abraham Camille Pissarro ( piss-AR-oh; French: ; 10 July 1830 – 13 November 1903) was a Danish-French Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist painter born on the island of Saint Thomas (now in the US Virgin Islands, but then in the Danish West Indies).
