Banks of the River — Fine Art

Banks of the River shows a river scene with open land along the water. Pierre-Auguste Renoir uses a loose brush style common in his work, with areas of colour placed side by side. The mood is calm and the picture stays broad rather than tightly drawn.

The fine art print sits inside a frame in white, wood, dark wood or black. The frame gives the picture a clear edge on the wall and keeps the bright water tones away from the room around it.

In a hallway above the shoe rack the river bank reads as a steady strip of land and water. From the top of the stairs you notice the soft colour bands and the quiet line where land meets water.
