Pierre-Auguste Renoir Source La Source 1875 Oil
Pierre-Auguste Renoir: The Source (La Source), Pierre-Auguste Renoir, 1875, Oil on canvas, The model here is Henriette Henriot, a minor actress who posed frequently for Renoir during his impressionist years. Renoir captures the young woman in a state of undress, perhaps having just cooled off in the river behind her; as she clutches her undergarment to her chest, one can see that the fabric is damp and clinging to her thigh. This painting would have scandalized audiences during Renoirs time. The colors, first of all, with blotches of purple falling across shoulders and legs, were jarring for audiences used to looking at smooth idealized bodies. Moreover, Renoir has depicted a real woman rather than some mythological nymph or goddess--a breach of decorum. Overall: 51 9/16 x 30 1/2 in. (131 x 77.5 cm)

Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Pierre-Auguste Renoir's masterpiece, "The Source (La Source)" painted in 1875. The focal point of the painting is Henriette Henriot, a minor actress who frequently posed for Renoir during his impressionist years. In this particular piece, Renoir captures Henriette in a vulnerable state of undress, suggesting she may have just cooled off in the river behind her. As she clings to her damp undergarment against her chest, one can see its fabric clinging to her thigh. During Renoir's time, this painting would have scandalized audiences for multiple reasons. Firstly, the vibrant colors used by Renoir were jarring to those accustomed to smooth and idealized bodies depicted in art. Additionally, instead of portraying a mythological nymph or goddess as was customary at that time, Renoir chose to depict a real woman - an act considered a breach of decorum. Measuring 51 9/16 x 30 1/2 inches (131 x 77.5 cm), this artwork is an exquisite representation of Renoir's talent and his departure from traditional norms. It serves as a testament to his ability to capture raw beauty and evoke emotions through his brushstrokes.
