Introduction: The Oise is a river in the north of France that streams in the Seine about 30km west of Paris. Stream upwards lies Pontoise and Auvers-sur-Oise, villages that were important meeting points for the ‘impressionists’ and Pre-Impressionists. On this page the locations stream upwards will be shortly mentioned and some pictures painted there will be added. Sometimes we will go a bit more land inward. Note: At some places the ‘impressionists’ and others made so many paintings, that you will be directed to a seperate page.
