Seascape by Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Seascape, painted by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, captures a restless stretch of open water beneath a storm-tinged sky, its heavy blue clouds parting over rolling green-blue waves and foaming surf. Renoir returned to the sea at several points in his career, using loose, broken brushwork to render the changing light and motion of water rather than a fixed, literal view. The painting belongs to a small group of seascapes in which weather and atmosphere, not incident, carry the composition.

Artist: Pierre-Auguste Renoir (French, 1841-1919).
