Pierre Auguste Renoir | Landscapes

Renoir explored landscape painting throughout his career. Early on he was influenced by painters from the Barbizon school, a group of French artists who advocated naturalistic representation through direct study from nature.

Many of the Barbizon artists painted pure landscapes, natural landscapes that show little or no evidence of human activity.

Renoir followed this example by working outdoors, creating both studies as well as completed paintings in plein-air.

William Shakespeare | Il mio occhio si è fatto pittore / Mine eye hath played the painter

William Shakespeare, Sonetto 24

Il mio occhio si è fatto pittore e ha fissato

i tratti della tua bellezza nel quadro del mio cuore.

Maria Amaral - Spanish Figurative painter

Il mio corpo è la cornice in cui essa è racchiusa,

e, in prospettiva, è la migliore arte del pittore:

poiché attraverso il pittore devi vedere la sua abilità,

per scoprire dove giace la tua vera immagine dipinta,

che sempre è appesa nella fucina del mio petto,

le cui finestre sono i tuoi occhi.

A number of his compositions are inspired by wet pavement that reflects street lamps and neon signs and glitters in the rain.

Ever ambitious, Mann covers a wide range of subjects beyond cityscapes: interior scenes of lone, young women as striking and restless as the city itself; a bold and intriguing self-portrait, masterful still life paintings, and pastoral scenes that recall the landscape of his hometown.
