In the 18th century before America was one unified nation from sea to shining sea‚ paintings would mostly be of and for the rich. Pieces of that time period were predominantly portrait paintings with unrealistic backdrops‚ created indoors within the confines of art studios.

Renoir’s Large Bathers As a student in a suburb of Philadelphia‚ I have had the opportunity to visit the Philadelphia Museum of Art on multiple occasions over the last two and a half years.

An Analysis of Form and Style Introduction I have chosen to do an analysis of form and style based on The Bathers‚ 1884-87 by Pierre Auguste Renoir and The Large Bathers‚ 1898-1906 by Paul Cézanne.
