Painting Description
"Umbrellas" (French: "Les Parapluies") is an oil-on-canvas painting by the French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir, created in two phases during the 1880s. The work is notable for its rich depiction of Parisian life and for showcasing Renoir's evolving artistic style. Measuring 180.3 cm × 114.9 cm (71 in × 45.3 in), the painting is currently held in the collection of the National Gallery in London.
The composition of "Umbrellas" features a bustling street scene with several figures, predominantly women and children, caught in a rain shower. The subjects are adorned in contemporary fashion, each carrying umbrellas or parasols, which lend the painting its name. The work is distinguished by its division into two distinct sections, painted at different times, which reflect a shift in Renoir's approach to color and form.
Renoir began the painting around 1881-1882, during the Impressionist phase of his career, characterized by lighter brushstrokes and a brighter palette. He returned to the canvas around 1885-1886, after a period of study in Italy, where he was influenced by the Renaissance masters. This led to a marked change in his style, evident in the more structured figures and the use of deeper, more solid colors in the latter sections of the painting.
"Umbrellas" is celebrated for its intricate layering of figures and the interplay of light and shadow, which create a sense of depth and movement. The painting's dual-phase execution provides a unique insight into the transitional period of Renoir's artistic development. It is a quintessential example of Renoir's enduring fascination with the vibrancy of Parisian society and his mastery of capturing the human form in everyday moments.
The painting has been exhibited in numerous galleries and has been the subject of extensive art historical analysis. It remains one of Renoir's most admired works, both for its aesthetic qualities and for its significance within the broader context of late 19th-century French art.
