Description:
|
|
This painting is a late reworking of his famous painting of the same title (1884-1887, Philadelphia Museum of Art). Renoir, in an attempt to reconcile the traditions of 17th and 18th century art with modern painting, labored over the 1884 work for three years. Faced with criticism of his new style after completing The Large Bathers, an exhausted Renoir never again devoted such painstaking effort to a single work. This late work (1903-1905) is done in a much less polished, more spontaneous manner. After 1902 his health declined progressively and from 1912 he was confined by rheumatism to a wheelchair; this was painted in Cagnes-sur-Mer.
