Renoir Child with cat (Julie Manet) CC1242 Poster

Poster inspired by a lovely portrait painting by French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir. The painting is titled Julie Manet and completed in 1887. Another name of the painting is Child with cat. At the time of the posing Julie is nine years old. Renoir being a close friend of the family, both Julie and the tabby cat seem very much at ease. Just look at the pet, I think this must be one of the happiest cats in art history! The portrait of Julie Manet is a great example of Renoir's so called 'Ingresque' period. At this time (like Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres) Renoir was more focused on line and drawing, and, additionally, he also found a new interest in the use of vivid colours. The painting is also remarkable for its emotional content, all the sensitivity and affection that the artist was able to bring into the artwork. The picture has been digitally restored, cleaned and enhanced, but the original image was also very good. With this image you can make a Large poster or a Custom size poster that is at the most 39.59 x 47.83 inches.
