Renoir in Guernsey, 1883

July 14 – Sept 10, 2023
99 Rue Claude Monet, 27620 Giverny, France

In September 1883, exactly 140 years ago, Pierre-Auguste Renoir traveled North to Guernsey, an island that sits in the English Channel. He spent a month there, staying in Moulin Huet, a bay on Guernsey’s southern coast. He studied the land’s steep topography, painted the crystal-clear waters of the bay, and watched the inhabitants bathing amid the rocks. This exhibition brings together the 15 paintings that Renoir created during his island retreat. —Elena Clavarino
