Ran out of song drafts.. so until December I'm replacing song OTD with Historical Event of the day now! It'll be a little thing about some sort of fun or notable event that happened on the same day :) I was gonna do Historical Event OTD but I feel like it'll be boring after 3 days
Today's painting is La Promenade (The Walk) Pierre-Auguste RENOIR
1870. Oil on canvas, 81 x 65 cm . J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles
La Promenade is an oil on canvas, early Impressionist painting by the French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir, created in 1870. The work depicts a young couple on an excursion outside of the city, walking on a path through a woodland. Influenced by the rococo revival style during the Second Empire, Renoir's La Promenade reflects the older style and themes of eighteenth-century artists like Jean-Honoré Fragonard and Jean-Antoine Watteau. The work also shows the influence of Claude Monet on Renoir's new approach to painting. (Took this info from Artly bc I'm lazy.)
I love the pose and loose brushstrokes of this painting! The white dress really stands out against the darker background. Love the range of colors too. Overall very pretty, love the Monet influence too
