Pierre-Auguste Renoir - “Breakfast of the Rowers”
Art reproduction on canvas in the “Lychorida” frame
In Renoir’s “Breakfast of the Rowers” (1881), a group of friends gather on the terrace of the Maison Fournaise in Chatou - rowers in white shirts, young women in flowered hats, amidst conversation, laughter and a glass of wine. The orange-red awning stretches across the scene, breaking the sunlight into warm reflections on carafes, straw hats and the white laid table, which draws the eye diagonally into the depth of the picture. The painting is considered one of the most famous group portraits of Impressionism; in it, Renoir captures the shimmering atmosphere of a summer afternoon on the Seine with loose, lively brushstrokes. Each figure tells its own little story, held together by the warm light beneath the awning. In the 30 × 22 cm format, the composition remains compact without losing any of its richness. The “Leonardo” canvas captures the brushstrokes and fine textures of the original well; its satin-finished surface reveals a distinct weave pattern in detail. The motif is framed by the “Lychorida” decorative frame in dark wood, with a hollow, light-brown inner profile and a narrow gold edge against the canvas. This gold line echoes the warm tones of the awning and the straw hat without competing with the image, whilst the deep black of the outer moulding frames the scene calmly and the profile tapers off in fine steps at the sides.
