Field of Banana Trees, 1881 (Musée d'Orsay) – Pierre-Auguste Renoir Wall Art | Impressionist Tropical Canvas Print

Now held in the Musée d'Orsay, Paris, Pierre-Auguste Renoir's Field of Banana Trees (1881) is among the most celebrated works of his Algerian period — a sumptuously coloured vision of tropical vegetation rendered in a palette transformed by direct encounter with the brilliant light of North Africa. The Algerian journey of 1881 was among the most significant of Renoir's career, the intensity of the southern light and the exotic richness of the vegetation providing a direct stimulus for the development of the warm, sensuous palette of his greatest works. A magnificently coloured and historically important work for any interior drawn to the finest of French Impressionism.
