<p>Pierre Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) was a French painter who was a central figure of the Impressionist movement. His early works featured scenes of real life that were warm, engaging, colorful, and filled with light. Then, his later works moved on to more formal-style portraits, often depicting women. Renoir was a very passionate and dedicated painter, even to the point of having to tie his paintbrush to his wrist in old age because he was suffering from severe arthritis.</p>
<p>Probably painted in 1890 on the Cote d'Azur in southern France, this sun-filled painting shows two female figures at the beach. The seated figure is shown in profile, her right hand holding a parasol on the sand. She exchanges a look with the standing figure to her right who holds a basket at her side. The women are joined by a small white dog, and before the water stands a young boy dressed in blue, seemingly throwing an object into the ocean. The standing figure serves as a vertical force which connects the horizontally banded foreground, water, and sky.?The women appear carefree and neither at work nor in the presence of men. Painted later in Renoir's career, a period at which point the artist expressed skepticism of industrialism and machines, this quiet seascape pays homage to the resplendent beauty of what is ordinary and simple. </p>
