The story behind the motif
Poster with a beautiful painting created in 1881 by Auguste Renoir - a historically famous French artist. The painting is called The Bay of Naples, which is also a place located on the west coast of Italy in the province of Naples.
The corner of the balcony visible in the lower left of the painting indicates Renoir's vantage point overlooking the Bay of Naples. His position provided an iconic view of the harbor with Mount Vesuvius in the background, billowing smoke into the sky.
Auguste Renoir is counted among the foremost Impressionists. He is known for his motifs of young women, children, flowers and landscapes. From 1864 he received permission to paint copies of the paintings that were in the Louvre in Paris.
Artist: Auguste Renoir | Created: 1881.
