Still Life with Figs — Fine Art

Still Life with Figs by Pierre-Auguste Renoir sets ripe figs on a surface, painted in loose strokes of purple, green and warm brown. The fruit sits near a soft background, and the paint breaks into separate touches. Pierre-Auguste Renoir followed the impressionist painting technique in much of his still life work.

You get the fine art print with a hanger already on the back. The frame comes in white, wood, dark wood or black, and gives the picture a clear edge on the wall. A white frame keeps the figs close to the surface. A dark wood frame pulls the purple fruit forward from the painted ground.

In a dining room, the figs read from the table as a pile of painted fruit. From the kitchen doorway you see the dark marks between the leaves, and the room feels steady.
