Renoir painting

I bought an oil painting that is the replica of the above painting at a car boot sale recently, it is in a really heavy frame and I absolutely love it, I bought it for ВЈ10 so think I bagged a bargain!

I love this painting

I went to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and saw this painting. I loved it. I just felt a connection because you can tell that the guy is trying really hard and the girl is looking away, and you wonder why she is looking away in the way that she is.

Beautiful...

I just love it...I had to analize it for IGCSE Art Class and it just came to me perfectly: Renoir wants us to take a rapid view of life back when he was young. Beautiful and impressive...renoir rocks!

Beautiful; gift to the world

This is a beautiful painting, i had a choice between about 20 paintings to analyze for my comp. class and i chose this one because it really caught my eye and captured my rasp attention. Maybe i will add my analysis paper here...beautiful painting, just beautiful. A true gift to the world, it is.

My favorite painting,

I think Llhote was leaning in to steal a kiss, and Ms. Valadon had turned her head so he could only get her cheek.

Beautilful. The color around the womans face frames it perfectly.She looks like he has just wispered something to her.

My All-Time Favorite Too

I have always wondered if she is being coy or is just creeped out. I love the intensity of his expression, notwithstanding everything else around him (people, nature, etc.), there is only one thing that exists in the world for him at that moment...

Expressions

Suzanne seems to be thinking of something greater, something out of her grasp, that she desires. She seems almost trapped. Its an amazing painting, My favorite in fact.

This is such a beautiful painting...love the colors, the dress..

Posted by Sandra on 22. December 2005. at 12:47

The colors in this painting are so vibrant and it looks like you could just reach over and gently touch her dress...it looks so real...a wonderful painting

The original painting is extremely beautiful - so vibrant. The colors and application of paint almost dance off the canvas!

lovely moment in France...the music, laughter and good wine.
I wish I could travel in time sometimes...just for a while;
we do have more freedom, but we lost the taste of good tomatoe.

He looks like Van Gogh, but he is Renoir’s friend Paul Auguste Llhote. His dance partner is Suzanne Valadon.

The guy with the hat reminds me of a Van Gogh.
