Beaulieu Landscape \u2013 afternoon light between the trees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n<\/table>\n

Beaulieu Landscape is an oil painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir from 1893. The original measures 81 cm x 65.1 cm and is held by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. We paint our version by hand in oils on canvas, in eight landscape sizes, from 40 x 30 to 150 x 120 cm. Among them is 81 x 65 cm, which matches the measurement of the original, with 90 x 70 cm as the step above it.<\/p>\n

A quiet moment in nature, with no figures<\/h3>\n

The scene is a colourful landscape and a quiet moment in nature. Renoir is best known for his paintings of people, but there is no figure on this canvas: it is carried by the countryside surrounded by trees and by the afternoon light falling on them. Light here does what a face or a figure would do elsewhere \u2013 it is the brightest place in the scene and the one the eye settles on first. The colour is open and unchecked, which is characteristic of this late period.<\/p>\n

Why hand-painted, not a print<\/h3>\n

Our version is not a print. The scene rests on afternoon light among the leaves, that is, on passages that have no edge, and that is exactly where a print fails: the screen cuts the passage into bands and stiffens the bright patches between the branches into areas with a hard margin. A hand-painted canvas leaves the passage soft as it is, and the stroke stays of differing density \u2013 thinner in shadow, denser where the light falls straight on.<\/p>\n

In the room<\/h3>\n

The subject is horizontal, quiet and without narrative, so it works well where a painting should settle a room rather than draw attention to itself: in a living room above the sofa, in a dining room, a bedroom or an office. For an ordinary room we suggest 70 x 60 or 81 x 65 cm, the second being the measurement of the original. On a large wall 120 x 100 or 150 x 120 cm works, where the crowns open out and the scene comes to resemble a window. The smallest sizes, 40 x 30 and 50 x 40 cm, suit a hallway or a stairwell.<\/p>\n

What you receive<\/h3>\n

We paint the canvas to order, by hand and for you alone, so every copy is made on its own; the canvas is usually painted and dried within three to four weeks. If you prefer, we will paint it in a size that is not on the list. Before despatch we send you a photograph of the finished canvas for your approval, and only then does the painting go out. Beaulieu Landscape arrives stretched on a wooden frame and ready to hang, wrapped in protective film and in rigid packaging, with no further stretching or finishing needed.<\/p>\n
