The Arts: Impressionist Paintings Gallery

 

Ahk50156.jpg (21543 bytes)The Swing (1876)
Pierre-Auguste Renoir 

The Swing was displayed at the third Impressionist exhibition.  Some of the critics felt the "dappled surface of the painting was 'audacious.'"  

 

Ahk50157.jpg (15365 bytes)Madame Georges Charpentier (1876-78)
Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Madame Georges Charpentier was the wife of one of Renoir's early patrons, Georges Charpentier. The publisher (Charpentier) purchased three of Renoir's paintings in 1875.  As Renoir's patron, he commissioned several works which helped keep food on the table.

 

Ahk50158.jpg (16963 bytes)Madame Charpentier and Her Children (1878)
Pierre-Auguste Renoir

This painting is of Madame Charpentier and her children which was displayed at the Salon in 1879.  Renoir stumbled upon good fortune when he met the Charpentiers.  Madame Charpentier used her connections to ensure her portrait was well displayed at the Salon.

 

Ahk50164.jpg (17467 bytes)The Umbrellas (1885)
Pierre-Auguste Renoir

The Umbrellas was originally pained in 1881-1882, but later reworked in 1885.  Renoir began to change his technique in his painting.  You will note the appearance of the little girl's face in The Swing compared to the woman holding the basket in The Umbrellas.  The woman's face is more clearly defined than that of the child's.
