About the piece

Painted in 1888, this vibrant landscape by Pierre-Auguste Renoir captures the shimmering light and atmosphere of the French Riviera. The composition features figures resting beneath the soft, dappled shade of trees on the Peninsula of Saint-Jean, with a stone wall guiding the eye toward blue waters dotted with distant sailboats.
