The Banks of the RiverFine Art

The Banks of the River by Pierre-Auguste Renoir shows a river edge with trees and water spread across the page. The scene uses soft broken colour touches across the surface, a method tied to the impressionist painting technique of the late nineteenth century. You see open water, a tree line, and a calm stretch of bank.

The fine art print goes straight onto a nail. The frame comes in four finishes, white, wood, dark wood and black. The frame gives the picture a clear edge on the wall.

On a dining room wall above the sideboard, the river bend catches the afternoon light across the table. From the doorway you notice the water line first, then the tree shapes as you move closer to the picture.
