OST - 92x73 - 1876
Renoir's Nude painted in 1876 undoubtedly ranks among the masterpieces in the Museum's collection. In addressing the eternal theme of female beauty, the artist treats it primarily as pictorial beauty. The well-known Paris model "la belle Anne", a modern Venus, is set in a halo of cold grey-blue shades. By renouncing traditional modelling and precise contours and replacing them with small mobile brushstrokes and subtle scumbling, the artist stresses the femininity of his model and produces a remarkable sensation of a real live body. The picture is like a gem, so it is not surprising that it is also known as The Pearl.

The 1880s saw a new stage in Renoir's work. Under the influence of scientific theories about the interaction of spectral colours, which stated that it was necessary to paint in tones of the pure spectrum only, the colouring in his pictures changed radically. The artist renounced black completely, replacing it by a complex mixture of blue ultramarine and red madder. Although the heroines in his pictures remained the same as ever, young Parisiennes and women of Montmartre, at the beginning of the 1880s the artist's pictorial manner lost its former Impressionist "atmospherics" and became more austere and graphic. "I have come to the end of Impressionism," Renoir acknowledged.

OST - 59x80 - 1869
The artist's earliest work in the Museum collection shows one of the Parisians' favourite haunts for enjoying their leisure, the island of Croissy. Well-known for its bathing hunts and small restaurants, the island is described in stories by Guy de Maupassant. Parisians referred to the place ironically as the "froggery" ("grenouille" being French from "frog"). In the late 1860s Renoir often went there with Claude Monet to paint plein-air studies. The artist shows Parisians strolling along the bank, bathers, and sailing boats gliding over the water. His small vibrating brushstrokes merely intimate the figures of people, the green of the trees and the glinting sunlight in the water. The patches of colour merge to form a single light and transparent gamma.
