The End of Luncheon, 1879
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Pierre Auguste Renoir captures a moment of leisure and indulgence in the late 19th century. In this oil on canvas masterpiece, Renoir skillfully portrays a group of elegantly dressed men and women gathered around a table after their meal. The scene exudes an atmosphere of relaxation and camaraderie. The focal point is a woman seated at the center, delicately holding a cigarette while she lights it with a matchbox. Her poised demeanor suggests confidence and sophistication. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the depiction of her surroundings – from the coffee cup and caraf to the decanter placed on the table. Renoir's impressionist style shines through in his use of vibrant colors and loose brushstrokes that create an overall sense of movement within the composition. Each figure seems engaged in conversation or lost in thought, adding depth to the narrative unfolding before our eyes. This particular print showcases Renoir's ability to capture intimate moments with great finesse. It invites viewers into this private gathering, allowing us to witness not only their physical presence but also their emotional states. "The End of Luncheon" serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and a historical snapshot that transports us back to an era where social gatherings were cherished occasions filled with laughter, good food, and stimulating conversations.
