1901 oil painting on canvas by the famous French artist is from the Tate collection of Tate Gallery in London. At the first sight it looks like this painting is pretty colourfull however Renoir didn't used that many colours; instead different shadings makes the objects in this case vibrant and real. The fluffy light beige colour and a darker brown background creates nice contrast setting for the main still life objects.
I would disagree- Renoir was famous for using a very large color palette, and on closer inspection you'll see that there is everything from blue to red to gold to green in this painting-- I can see how it's difficult to tell however- the image is small and work like this is best experienced in person.
ReplyDeleteI really liked this piece as it looks like he used many different colors to show the fruits.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting how he captured the texture of the almonds with seemingly simple strokes. The peaches look fuzzy, and I'm not entirely sure how he accomplished this but it is very well done. He didn't focus on making it look super realistic but instead developed the textures differently and I think it gives the piece a unique feel to it.
ReplyDeleteI like different colors of fruits.They look like they're about to ripe.
