Spring Bouquet Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919)

Description of the painting "Still Life with a Large Flower Vase" by Pierre-Auguste Renoir

A brilliant painter, the founder of Impressionism, Auguste Renoir is known as the consummate master of painting. He was particularly good at still life. Auguste based his subjects on daily life and fascinating women. Only rarely did he dare to paint flowers. All his works are filled with air, impregnated with lightness and sunshine. The color scheme is quite soft. The paintings consist of shades of pink, blue, lilac, muted green.

Recalling the work of the artist, it is impossible not to note one of his famous masterpieces - "Still Life with a large floral vase. The work was completed in 1866 and quickly gained popularity. The plot of the canvas is simple and unpretentious, but executed subtly and gracefully. In the inflorescences of wildflowers, wild roses, fragrant herbs drowns a large blue-blue vase. The proportions of the bouquet are so verified, and the details are so carefully prescribed, that the imagination can not stand still. It seems that another minute, and a thin pink petal will fall on the brown rough surface of the table. A gust of light wind will be the cause, bringing forth the unusual delicate scent of the plants.

There is an opinion that Renoir created such works for the purpose of earning an income. The artist did not have to count on a lot of money. However, such subjects with pleasure bought up and by our time almost completely dispersed in private collections.
