Pierre-Auguste Renoir: Nude in a Landscape (Nu dans un paysage), Pierre-Auguste Renoir, c. 1917, Oil on canvas, For Renoir, appealing to the viewer's tactile sense was essential when painting the naked body. 'A nude is not done until I feel I can reach out and touch it,' he said. In this painting produced close to the end of his life, Renoir seems to insist on the physicality of his figure. Velvety flesh, created with layers of thin glazes, fills the canvas; the woman's body seems ready to spill into our space., Overall: 32 x 24 1/8 in. (81.3 x 61 cm).
