Félix Pissarro (24 July 1874 – 29 November 1897), born in Pontoise, Paris, in the year of the first Impressionist exhibition, was a nineteenth-century French painter, etcher and caricaturist. Under the adopted pseudonym of Jean Roch,[1] also known as Titi in his family circle, he was the third son of the painter Camille and Julie Pissarro.[2]
Félix's works very early demonstrated great strength and originality. His father regarded him as the most promising of his sons[3] but before he was able to realise his full potential, he contracted tuberculosis and died in a sanatorium at 262 Kew Road, Kew (which is now in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames), at the age of 23.[3] He is buried in Richmond Cemetery.[3]
