Railway Bridge at Chatou, 1881 – Renoir Wall Art | Impressionist Canvas

Railway Bridge at Chatou, painted by Pierre-Auguste Renoir in 1881, looks across a sunlit landscape toward the iron railway bridge spanning the Seine at Chatou, with bright wildflowers and grasses filling the foreground. The brushwork is loose and broken, the palette built on fresh greens, dusty yellows, and clear blue sky in the manner of high Impressionism. Chatou, on the outskirts of Paris, was one of Renoir's favored painting grounds, where the meeting of modern industry and open countryside drew his sustained attention. The picture is held in the collection of the Musée d'Orsay, Paris.
