After a chronic eye infection limited the amount of time Camille Pissarro could spend outdoors, he began a series of views of Paris seen from hotel windows. Hoping to show the beauty of the bustling city, he painted this view down the Avenue de l’Opera and other vistas at different hours and seasons, and under varying weather conditions. (MIA)
