Choose options
The Fisherman, painted by Pierre-Auguste Renoir in 1874 captures an angler in a pale coat casting his line along a sun-warmed riverbank while a young woman in white sits nearby, her flowered hat catching the light against deep green foliage and rippling water. Painted the same year as the first Impressionist exhibition, the work reflects the rapid, broken brushwork Renoir shared with Monet and Sisley, all of whom returned often to the rivers around Paris to paint quiet moments of leisure by the water. The painting stands among Renoir's early Impressionist figure studies, prizing fleeting light and unhurried companionship over incident.
