Pissarro's best early paintings are defined by a loosely painted brush stroke, occasionally applied with palette knife, and a naturalistic tone influenced from Gustave Courbet, although with an early Impressionist color palette.

Pissarro wed Julie Vellay, a servant of his mother's house. Of the couple's eight children, one passed away during birth and a daughter died when she was nine years ols. Each of the children who survived all would paint. The eldest son Lucien would become a follower of pre-Raphaelite artist and designer William Morris.

In 1870-71 when the Franco-Prussian War broke out, the event prompted Pissarro to take flight from his home in Louveciennes in September of 1870. He did not go back until June 1871. When he got back he discovered that the house, as well as several of his early art works, were ruined by soldiers of the Prussian army. At first his family had stayed a colleague, artist in Montfoucault, although by December 1870 the family had sought asylum in London, England where they settled down at Westow Hill in Upper Norwood. Now the area is called Crystal Palace. A Blue Plaque today commemorates the location of the home upon the building in Westow Hill.

With the paintings Pissarro finished during this period, he depicts Sydenham and the Norwoods in a period at which point they had been only lately linked by railroads, although before to the expansion of suburban development. Among the larger sized of such paintings is a scene from St. Bartholomew's Church at Lawrie Park Avenue, commonly known as The Avenue, Sydenham, in the collection of the London National Gallery. Twelve oil paintings date which was created during Pissarro's time in Upper Norwood. These art works include All Saints Church, Lordship Lane Station, Norwood Under the Snow, Sydenham Hill, scenes from The Crystal Palace moved from Hyde Park, Dulwich College, along with a lost picture of St. Stephen's Church.

When he had been in in Upper Norwood, Pissarro met an art dealer named Paul Durand-Ruel. Durand-Ruel purchased two of Pissarro's London paintings. This relationship would prove fruitful as Durand-Ruel later would become the most significant art dealer for the new movement in the French art world which would become known as Impressionism.

Going back to France in 1890 Pissarro once more traveled to England. Here he created about ten scenes depicting central London. He went back once more during 1892, painting in Kew Gardens along with Kew Green, and likewise visited in 1897, at which point he painted respective oil paintings portraying views of Bedford Park, Chiswick.

Frequently called the Father of Impressionism, Pissarro produced country and urban French life scenes, in particular landscapes of and surrounding Pontoise, in addition to views from Montmartre. His later paintings present a connection with laborers and peasants, along with occasionally testimonials to his radical political tendencies. Pissarro was an important mentor to the artists Paul Cézanne along with Paul Gauguin and his style prompted numerous future artists.

His influence on his colleague Impressionist painters is in all likelihood still underrated as not merely did he provide significant contributions to Impressionist possibility, he likewise managed to maintain agreeable, reciprocally courteous terms with such challenging personalities as Edgar Degas, Paul Cezanne and Paul Gauguin. Pissarro displayed with all eight of the Impressionist exhibitions. Furthermore, while Claude Monet had been the most productive and exemplary example of the Impressionist manner, Pissarro had been nevertheless a elementary forerunner of Impressionist process.

Pissarro tried out Neo-Impressionist theory from 1885 to 1890. Unsatisfied with what he named "romantic Impressionism," Pissarro looked into Pointillism, a technique that he referred to as scientific Impressionism, prior to getting back to a cleaner Impressionistic style over the final 10 years of his life.
