Pierre-Auguste Renoir – Near the Lake (1880)

“This painting depicts a canotier, or maybe just a man dressed like a canotier, talking with a young girl. A canotier is someone who practices the sport of rowing. These gentlemen were common subjects for many of Renoir’s paintings during this period. It is believed that the lake in the painting may be the Lower Lake of the Parisian Park, Bois de Boulogne.

This is one of the many pieces by Renoir that features people participating in leisurely activities outside. This follows an earlier tradition, particularly French Rococo art from the 18th century, in which landscapes used people to provide a context to the scene. The presence of a child in Renoir’s painting is similar to the pastoral scenes of Jean-Antoine Watteau, where children were used to lend innocence and happiness to a setting.

During Renoir’s lifetime, private lands and gardens in Paris and the French countryside were starting to be acquired by the public for public use. These formerly private parks were being turned into public lands allowing access to everyone. As more people were out and about utilizing these new resources, the Impressionists of the day were capturing these moments.

It is currently in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago in Chicago, Illinois.”
