Focus on this artwork and explain the Historical information.
In the fall of 1885, Pissarro met Georges Seurat and became enamored of his novel Neo-Impressionism. He considered Seurat's principles, derived from research on optics, to be the logical extension of the Impressionism for which he himself was most famous, and so adopted Seurat's revolutionary methods over the protests of his colleagues and dealer. The House of the Deaf Woman and the Belfry at Eragny was painted in the summer of 1886, at the height of Pissarro's enthusiasm. He was proud of the painting, submitting it to multiple prestigious exhibitions in 1887. However, by 1889 he had wearied of the labor-intensive technique and returned to Impressionism. Thus, this canvas is triply precious for its size, quality, and rarity.
