Renoir was a French Impressionist painter, the first representative of this movement to achieve success with society. Like all Impressionists, he tried to convey life as accurately and fully as possible - not only life, but his own feelings about it - believing that it was made up of moments and that the only thing a person can do to keep them from seeping through his fingers is to preserve them by all available means. His paintings are usually inherent lightness and mobility, as if they are ready in the next moment to move, to develop the moment, captured by the artist. Renoir himself - a man selflessly devoted to painting.

Description of Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s painting Dance in Bougival
Renoir was a French Impressionist painter, the first representative of this movement to achieve success with society. Like all Impressionists, he tried to convey life as accurately and fully as possible - not only life, but his own feelings about it - believing that it was made up of moments and that the only thing a person can do to keep them from seeping through his fingers is to preserve them by all available means.
His paintings are usually inherent lightness and mobility, as if they are ready in the next moment to move, to develop the moment, captured by the artist.
Renoir himself - a man selflessly devoted to painting. This is evidenced by the fact that at the end of his life, paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair, he still continued to write almost unbending hand - the nurse put a brush between his fingers.
Bougival is a western suburb of Paris, which has been called the "cradle of Impressionism. There many masters experienced an upsurge of creative forces and a sort of new beginning.
"Dance in Bougival" is a painting by Renoir, part of a triptych, the first painting of which is "Dance in the City" and the last is "Dance in the Village". "Dance in Bougival," on the other hand, is the middle picture, a dance in the suburbs, and all the surroundings speak for it. The tables of a summer café, at which laughing people sit, who have come to rest.
Trees covered in fresh foliage, a general sense of summer and joy. The central couple, too, are clearly vacationers. The girl is wearing a dress with pink trim, a hat with flowers - these are commonly referred to as "lovely." The man leads the way, he is dressed in dark blue pants and a shirt, a straw hat hides his face. Only the beard and part of the profile are visible-the girl’s face, on the other hand, is in full view. She turns away from her partner, revealing herself to the viewer, but she doesn’t turn away because she dislikes him - it’s cute coquetry.
The background behind them is blurred, which gives the dance a sense of movement.
You cannot comment Why?
The picture has something of this: people, wear, woman, veil, man, group, portrait, two, artistic, lid, retro.
Perhaps it’s a painting of a man and a woman dancing in front of a group of people sitting at a table in a park, with trees in the background.
