It is hard to tell if the woman on the bottom is a painting by Renoir or Monet, but it is indeed a painting by Renoir. The top is a Degas painting, noted by his signature dancers. In the top painting, the dancers are the focus of the painting, while the background is all blurry. The bottom painting is similar to a Monet, and was probably painted during the time the two artists painted together. Renoir still focuses his attention on the woman (probably his wife,) and pays less attention to his background.The background is still very detailed in terms of shadow and presents the painting as a look through Renoir's eyes.
The way you compare these paintings makes it easy to look at them and immediately tell the differences. Your comparing and contrasting was very well done.
ReplyDeleteDid Degas use a different painting technique in this painting than in the star. I ask because Le Viol looks like it has more defined edges as opposed to his other works.
