Setting Sun
1879
"Setting Sun" is a drypoint and aquatint print by Camille Pissarro that captures the atmospheric effects of light during the golden hour. The work demonstrates Pissarro's mastery of printmaking techniques, particularly his skillful use of aquatint to create tonal variations and depth that evoke the warm, diffused glow of sunset. Like much of his printmaking output, this piece reflects his Impressionist sensibility through its attention to ephemeral light effects and natural landscape observation.
