Seascape by Pierre-Auguste Renoir looks out over a restless stretch of open sea, with rolling waves rendered in cool blues, soft greens, and flecks of foaming white. The brushwork is loose and animated, building atmosphere from broken color and the play of wind on water rather than precise contour. Renoir's seascapes treat the meeting of sky and water as a study in shifting Impressionist light. The picture distills the sensation of standing at the edge of the water into a quiet, evocative passage of color and weather.
