Vencie the Doge's Palace Oil Painting After Pierre-Auguste Renoir 32"

Description

Vintage 20th century oil painting on canvas after the masterpiece "Venice, The Doge's Palace" originally painted in 1881 by Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Gold foliate frame by Larson+Juhl.

"When Renoir first visited Venice in 1881, he was drawn to one of its most famous sights: the façade of the Doge’s Palace across from the island of San Giorgio Maggiore. This view was very popular with artists; Renoir joked that “there were at least six of us queuing up to paint it.” The buildings are painted with considerable accuracy, the soft pinks and creams of their sunlit walls contrasting with the rich blue of the sky and reflecting in the undulating waters of the canal."

"Pierre-Auguste Renoir ( 25 February 1841 – 3 December 1919) was a French artist who was a leading painter in the development of the Impressionist style. As a celebrator of beauty and especially feminine sensuality, it has been said that "Renoir is the final representative of a tradition which runs directly from Rubens to Watteau."
