Choose The House at Rueil as a hand painted oil painting and skip the compromise of printed wall decor. Based on Edouard Manet's original. Our artists rebuild the fine art composition stroke by stroke, producing impressionist canvas wall art with lasting color depth.
1882
Oil on canvas
92.8 x 73.5 cm
National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne.
It is difficult to imagine that Manet was ill when he painted this work, indeed he died within a year of completing it. It is the facade of a house at Rueil, just outside Paris, in which he stayed for the summer of 1882. He was there to recover from illness and he was morose and despondent, which is reflected in letters written during the time.
Despite these handicaps, he wished his time there to be productive and in those letters he complained that bad weather restricted his painting activity, particularly out of doors. However, this painting and others from the same time do not reflect emotional or physical disparity.
The size of the canvas is comparatively large, implying that his ambition and means to execute substantial work had not diminished. It is also signed and dated, indicating that he considered the work finished. The paint is handled with astonishing exuberance and energy, especially in the grassy clumps beneath the tree, in the foliage and in the curving pathway. The light is shimmering and bright and the view is charged with vitality and life.
The fine art subject is rebuilt stroke by stroke in oil, giving the finished canvas the depth expected of impressionist oil painting wall decor.
This is a genuine hand painted oil painting, not a canvas print. Our painters match the palette of The House at Rueil by eye and build up the fine art forms in thin layers, which is what gives the finished fine art oil painting its luminosity.
Hang this fine art oil painting above a sofa, console, or bed to give a bedroom an instant focal point. Its impressionist palette works with both minimalist and period interiors, and the piece also makes a considered gift for housewarmings, weddings, and art lovers.
