Pesci
1914-1915
Painted during the final years of his life, this vibrant still life of fish showcases Pierre-Auguste Renoir's incredible physical resilience. Despite suffering from severe rheumatoid arthritis that painfully deformed his hands, the master artist famously strapped brushes to his fingers to create these bold, thick strokes of emerald green, crimson, and bright yellow. The heavy, tactile texture of the paint almost makes the subjects leap off the canvas, marking a fascinating shift from his earlier, softer Impressionist style toward something much more raw, expressive, and sculptural.
