Houses at Cagnes 1905

Painted in 1905 by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, *Houses at Cagnes* depicts a tranquil scene of a French countryside with a lone figure situated under a large, leafy tree. Renoir's signature use of loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors creates a soft and dreamlike atmosphere. The painting showcases his mastery of capturing light and shadow, adding depth and dimension to the landscape. This artwork is a fine example of his later period, where his style transitioned towards a more simplified approach with a focus on the beauty of nature.
