La Promenade Renoir Impressionism Painting Art Tote Bag

Pierre-Auguste Renoir (French, 1841 - 1919) La Promenade, 1870, Oil on canvas 81.3 x 64.8 cm (32 x 25 1/2 in.) The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles Digital image courtesy of the Getty's Open Content Program. La Promenade is a fleeting moment caught by chance--middle-class Parisians immersed in nature, possibly a local park, not set before a studio backdrop. The dappled light filtering through the foliage would become a trademark of Renoir's finest Impressionist works of the 1870s and 1880s. He used a thin, oily paint mix, his glazes here floating into each other to create depth. Check out my store for more tote bags with famous works of art!
