Place du Carrousel by Camille Pissarro

Camille Pissarro was an Impressionist painter who created this sun-drenched view of a famous park in 1900. We'll find out where this lovely scene takes place and how and why just 5 small strokes of color can conjure up a fashionista. We'll also discover its connection to Hermann Goering and how a Gallery director was instrumental in the formation of the Monuments Men program.
