Boating on the Seine

Pierre-Auguste Renoir
Boating on the Seine
1879-80
Oil on Canvas

Renoir was an impressionist painter and you can tell from his style of painting. I chose this painting because of the colors. The orange boat against the blue river really make the painting strong and draw your eye in. I also like the effect that Renoir uses on the water. The light and dark areas in the water look like it is moving.
