Dancers and Skaters by Renoir

I have been trying to write all day, but unfortunately, being sick and writing interesting posts don’t go together too well. However, being well aware that I haven’t posted for several days, I didn’t want to leave my wonderful readers without any new content for too long, so I thought I could at least share these beautiful Renoir paintings. Hope everyone is having a great beginning of the new year (or at the very least a healthier one than I am).

Exciting bonus! Renoir painted skaters as well! Art, skating, and dance – all my favorite things in one post. It’s so interesting how Renoir’s style changed so dramatically in the eight years between the skaters and the Moulin de la Galette, as opposed to how little it changed in the next seven years between Moulin de la Galette and the three dancing couples.

An important note

Art history is an inherently subjective field, and my perspective isn’t the only one. I encourage all my readers to seek out differing opinions and read multiple sources to get a broader and more complete view of this complex and fascinating field of study.
