Impressionistic "Two Sisters On the Terrace" Print after Pierre-August Renoir

1970's

About the Item

An impressionistic print entitled "Two sisters on the terrace " after the founder of the impressionistic movement Pierre -August Renoir ( French 1841 - 1919). This master piece was originally created in 1881. Renoir advanced and defined technique rendered facial expressions and movements masterfully. He often used his friends and acquaintances such as fellow artists and writers as models for his paintings. The print is finely framed in an ebony and gilded custom frame. About the artist : Famed for his sensual nudes and charming scenes of pretty women, Auguste Renoir was a far more complex and thoughtful painter than generally assumed. He was a founding member of the Impressionist movement, nevertheless he ceased to exhibit with the group after 1877. From the 1880s until well into the twentieth century, he developed a monumental, classically inspired style that influenced such avant-garde giants as Pablo Picasso. Renoir began his artistic career as a porcelain painter; however, his ambitions to become a professional artist prompted him to seek other instruction. He began copying paintings at the Louvre in 1860 and eventually entered the studio of the academic artist Charles Gleyre, where he met Claude Monet, Frédéric Bazille, and Alfred Sisley. The four friends soon began painting in the forest of Fontainebleau, although Renoir always remained dedicated to figure painting and portraits. His early female nudes were heavily influenced by the earthy palette and buxom figure types of Realist painter Gustave Courbet. Source : The Met Museum Dimensions: 22.75" W x 1" D x 32.75" H
