Field of Banana Trees — Fine Art

The banana trees sway in rows across the picture, their leaves painted in loose green strokes. Pierre-Auguste Renoir uses quick brush marks to build the foliage, with dappled light falling between the trunks.

This fine art print sits on a timber frame that matches the wooden furniture across the room. The matte surface keeps the soft greys and greens from shining under a ceiling light, so the brush marks read clearly when you stand near the wall.

It hangs on the landing wall beside the bedroom door, where the morning sun reaches it at an angle. You see the full rows of leaves from the top of the stairs, and the small dark strokes in the branches when you pass by.
