and art of Pierre Auguste Renoir spans from the 1800’s to the 1900’s. “At an early age, Renoir had already decided that painting was his true career; and with the money he managed to save from his commercial employments he began his studies in art school (Renoir, 1983)”. Renoir learned early on that the essentials of art stood outside of the school doctrine for art. Through this liberating style of the artist, he graced the world with beautiful art.

The piece that I have chosen is L’Estaque, 1885-90, by Pierre-Auguste Renoir. This painting is composed of oil on canvas. Viewing the piece, I believe that the mood it conveys is peace and serenity. The subject of this piece is a calm enclave in France, enhanced with a faint sailboat and relaxed fisherman. This is a landscape painting; therefore, the subject is relatively straightforward.

The paintings of Renoir (1841-1919)…
