Description
Bring the bustling Paris of the 1880s into your home with Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s “The Umbrellas.” Painted over a number of years in this decade, Renoir was at a transitional point in his career during that time. He began moving away from his Impressionist roots and embracing the style of more classical art. Both can be seen in this painting, which includes both loose brushwork and more classical-looking figures. There are even women’s fashions from different years apparent in the painting due to the time span in which it was created. The snapshot-like style of a moment in everyday life also makes it an especially notable work of Renoir’s. While clearly from another time, the scene in this painting is recognizable in today’s busy urban centers. Create a connection to history and art in your home or office with this beautiful oil painting reproduction of Renoir’s “The Umbrellas” from overstockArt.
