Renoir had spent the previous summer painting outdoors with Claude Monet, who encouraged him to move toward a lighter, more luminous palette and to indulge his penchant for luscious, feathery brushwork. Here Renoir retained something of Gustave Courbet's green-and-brown palette while choosing his subject from the sensual, lighthearted garden jaunts of eighteenth-century painters such as Jean-Antoine Watteau and Jean-Honoré Fragonard, whose works he had studied in the Louvre. Unlike the images of seduction created by his predecessors, Renoir's is a fleeting moment caught by chance--middle-class Parisians immersed in nature, possibly a local park, not set before a studio backdrop. The dappled light filtering through the foliage would become a trademark of Renoir's finest Impressionist works of the 1870s and 1880s. He used a thin, oily paint mix, his glazes here floating into each other to create depth. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- 11 x 14 Print\u003cbr\u003e- Item#: PR78\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eLa Promenade\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePierre-Auguste Renoir (French, 1841 - 1919)\u003cbr\u003e1870 \u003cbr\u003eOil on canvas\u003cbr\u003e81.3 × 64.8 cm (32 × 25 1\/2 in.)\u003cbr\u003eThe J.
