Pissarro in South London

In 1870 the French Impressionist painter, Camille Pissarro, moved to Norwood in South London.  That’s really near Itchy Mansions.  We thought it would be interesting to go and see the locations that he depicted in a couple of his paintings, and compare them with how they look in the present day.  Below are the two paintings and what the places look like today:

The Avenue, Sydenham (then)

                

And now…

               

Fox Hill, Upper Norwood, 1870 (then)

                

And now…
