Félix Pissarro was the third son of the painter Camille Pissarro. His family called him Titi and his father regarded him as the most talented of his five sons. Two of the landscapes that he painted at Richmond are now in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. For his work he used the pseudonym Jean Roch. He suffered from tuberculosis and he died in a sanatorium in Kew at the age of 23. His gravestone at Richmond Cemetery was restored in 2001. In the collection of the Tate Gallery in London is a portrait of Félix from 1881 by his father. Family • Father: Pissarro, Camille |
