Choose options
Strawberries, painted by Pierre-Auguste Renoir around 1905, presents a heaped blue-and-white porcelain bowl brimming with ripe red strawberries, with a single stray berry resting on the white tablecloth beside it. Renoir renders the fruit in warm, velvety strokes of scarlet and rose against a softly blurred olive-toned ground, capturing the tactile pleasure he found in humble kitchen subjects. The painting belongs to a group of small still lifes Renoir returned to throughout his later career, pairing ripe fruit with fine porcelain to explore color and texture free of the demands of figure painting.
Artist: Pierre-Auguste Renoir (French, 1841-1919). Date: c.1905.
