    The Auvers Valley on the Oise River (1884–1906)

    Pierre-Auguste Renoir (French, 1841–1919)

    Sunlight dances on the Oise, dappling the water between swaying trees. The valley breathes with loose brushstrokes—greens melt into blues, land blurs into river. A fleeting warmth lingers in the air, as if summer might slip away with the next breeze.
