Study of Flowers 1914

Pierre-Auguste Renoir's *Study of Flowers* (1914) is a vibrant oil painting that captures the fleeting beauty of a floral arrangement. The Impressionist style is evident in the loose brushstrokes and focus on light and color. Renoir's signature use of thick, impasto paint creates a textural quality that invites the viewer to touch the canvas. This study showcases his mastery of color, as the pink, red, and yellow hues of the flowers harmonize and blend in a symphony of light and shadow. The artist's exploration of fleeting moments in time, typical of his later works, is also present in this small-scale painting. *Study of Flowers* is a testament to Renoir's enduring fascination with the beauty of the natural world.
