La Promenade
La Promenade is an oil-on-canvas, early Impressionist painting by the French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir, created in 1870. The work depicts a young couple on an excursion outside of the city, walking on a path through woodland. Influenced by the rococo revival style during the Second French Empire, La Promenade reflects the older style and themes of eighteenth-century artists like Jean-Honoré Fragonard and Antoine Watteau. The work also shows the influence of Claude Monet on Renoir's new approach to painting. La Promenade now hangs in the Getty Center in Los Angeles, United States.Painting credit: Pierre-Auguste Renoir
