Description
THE CIRCLE OR STUDIO OF PIERRE AUGUSTE RENOIR (1841–1919)
The Olive Grove and View of the Haut-de-Cagnes
Sketch, oil on canvas mounted on board. This plein air study, bearing the thumbtack holes from the studio where it was hung, captures the essence of the tree-lined park bathed in the dazzling light of late morning. In the foreground, venerable, century-old olive trees spread their sinuous trunks and branches, one of which is adorned with particularly luminous touches of acid yellow-green. The shadows cast on the ground, punctuated by highlights of blue and purple, trace the grassy contours of the hill. In the background, the sprawling silhouette of the houses with their warm-coloured roofs in the medieval village stands out against the panorama. The brushwork is lively and dynamic, favouring broad, brushed strokes for the relief and a generous texture for the trees’ foliage.
Dimensions: 18.5 x 27.5 cm.
