I LOVE THIS

I am only 12 years old and I love this painting. I heard that he decided to use a more modern art in the middle of the picture. I think it reflects in the servant because her texture is so different. I love how she stands out from everyone else, without looking concieted. I also love how the man is admiring her from behind. I think it shows that even a servant has the beauy of a dove.

A mix of TWO art styles...

Did you know that Renoir decided not to do Impressionism and changed to a more modern style just in the middle of this painting? ^^

I love this painting. Its so different from Renoirs early work, with straight lines and smooth brushstrokes.

Umbrellas

I like the softness of this painting. I think the focal point is the little girl with the basket. Though he uses darkness in this painting it has a nice airy freshness to it.

I am amazed to all of his works, and umbrellas is one of them. His talent was so huge that he had done a lot of beatiful paintings.

This picture is wonderful. The way the colours stand out is just amazing. I especially like the little girl in the front of the picture.

This painting is in the National Gallery in Dublin, Ireland at the moment. And has been in Dublin for the last 6 years. Its due to go back to London for a 6 year period soon and then will come back here again etc.

I found a original Print made By Renoir of this canvas
It turned out to be the lost one during a estate sale , The one with the stained frame.

The Look

The look of the girl with the basket really intrigued me. Instinct tells me she is young, single, crave for attention. The way she dress is so simple.

Pretty

This is a really pretty piece that Auguste Renoir had painted. It shows how they dressed.
