Description
Pierre-Auguste Renoir "Sitting Bathy Painting, made in 1914, is located in a late period of the prolific career of the artist, who had been a fundamental figure of the impressionist current. However, as Renoir advanced towards the years of maturity, his style evolved, swinging the vibrant light and the color of impressionism with a greater search for more defined forms and structures in his works. "Sitting swimmer" is a clear reflection of this transition, where the artist concentrates his gaze on the sensuality of the human body wrapped in an atmosphere of tranquility and freshness.
In the work, the figure of the sitting woman occupies a central place, exhibiting a subtle but powerful modeling that highlights her contours. The light, a crucial element in the renewal palette, plays with the colors close to pink and orange that bathe their skin, suggesting a luminosity that evokes the warmth of a summer day. This choice of shades transmits an almost ethereal sensation that contrasts with the darkest and loose background, where vegetation can be perceived that seems to absorb and spread the light ascending from the woman's body.
The figure of the swimmer, voluptuously and romantically lying, becomes the emotional focus of the work. Renoir, known for his great mastery in the representation of the human body and female beauty, manages to transmit a special intimacy in this representation. The woman is not simply an object of beauty, but a celebration of health and vivacity, recurrent elements in the work of Renoir. His lost look and carefree posture seem to convey calm and peace, as if the world around it dissolved in a sea of soft and diffuse light.
The technique of loose and textured brushstrokes distinguishes to renew, and in "sitting swimmer" you can see those characteristics that gave notoriety within impressionism. The brushstrokes in the background are grouped into a display of vegetation that remembers the style of their paintings Early, but they also form a contrast with the most defined form of the human figure. This can be interpreted as a search for balance between the representation of nature and the human figure, two important issues in his work.
Although "sitting swimmer" is not considered one of his best known works in the public sphere, it is a testimony of the artist's personal evolution. Renoir, away from the agglomerations and fervor of the exhibitions of their young years, seems to have sought in this work a return to the simplicity of beauty and a haven of peace in the intimacy of the day to day. The vigorous brushstroke and the exuberance of light are, in this sense, a celebration of life itself, celebrating not only the moment of a bathroom, but the elegance that resides in everyday life.
In conclusion, "sitting swimmer" is a work that encapsulates the essence of the mature style of renewal. Through light, color, and a composition that looks at both the human figure and nature, the artist captures an instant of serenity. The tactile richness of the brushstrokes, the warm palette and the focus in the female figure in a natural environment reveal a dialogue between the body and nature, themes that have endured in the legacy of renewing, reminding us of the intrinsic beauty of what is simply simply daily.
