Description
From a pale stone terrace, Renoir looks out over the formal gardens of Versailles, where two great masses of trees part to reveal a long reflecting pool and distant parkland. A weathered statue perches on a pedestal at the right edge, while smaller white sculptures are just visible among the flowerbeds and clipped hedges below.
The dense foliage is built from layered strokes of green, olive and touches of gold and rust that suggest early autumn, all set beneath a wide, breezy sky of blue and cream. The pale terrace in the foreground is rendered with broad, sun-bleached strokes that contrast with the busier textures of the trees, giving the composition a calm sense of depth and open air.
This grand garden view brings a touch of royal French parkland into any interior. This Versailles composition is offered as a museum-quality canvas print, made to order in a range of sizes and shipped worldwide.
