Path Leading through Tall Grass \u2013 a lighter touch than Monet\u2019s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n<\/table>\n

Path Leading through Tall Grass is an oil painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir from 1877. The original measures 74 cm x 59 cm and is held by the Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay in Paris. Our oil painting Path Leading through Tall Grass is painted by hand in oils on canvas, in eight landscape sizes from 40 x 30 to 150 x 120 cm, among them the size of the original, 74 x 59 cm.<\/p>\n

What is actually recorded about this canvas<\/h3>\n

About the scene itself the record for this painting says nothing that is not already in the title, and we will claim no more either. One single observation is on record, and it concerns the hand rather than the subject: the canvas recalls Monet\u2019s work, but Renoir\u2019s brushstrokes are more delicate and lighter than his.<\/p>\n

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

Our version is not a print. If the visible difference lies precisely in the stroke \u2013 in how it is laid on and how light it is \u2013 then that is also what print cannot carry: the screen has a regular structure of its own and lays it over the painter\u2019s. A hand-painted canvas leaves the direction, the length and the weight of every stroke as it was made.<\/p>\n

In the room<\/h3>\n

The format is landscape and the scene is open and light, so the work does well where there is enough daylight: by a window, in a dining room, in a bright hallway, or above a desk. Because the ladder of sizes runs low, this is one of the few subjects on this shelf that can be hung very small as well: 50 x 40 cm is enough beside a desk, 74 x 59 cm is the size of the original, and 120 x 100 cm carries a whole wall.<\/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. Path Leading through Tall Grass 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
