Sunset at Douarnenez ☲ Renoir ☵ Art Print Frame Color:Print only (no frame) head in his handsSunset at Douarnenez (1883, Coucher de soleil Douarnenez) by Pierre Auguste Renoir depicts the setting sun off the Breton coast in France. Reminiscent of Monet's Impression, Sunrise, Renoir displays a strong impressionistic influence, capturing a scene of the natural world in a loose and spontaneous manner. He would become skeptical of Impressionism, feeling that art needed more structure, and further define his own style during the 1880s.
