Pissarro was an influential figure in the development of Impressionism but left France following the Franco-Prussian War and took refuge in England. This was one of twelve paintings in oils he produced during his initial stay, although he frequently returned in subsequent years. The picture is now in the collection of the National Gallery in London, having been acquired in 1984.https://artuk.org/discover/artworks/the-avenue-sydenham-115452
