The Story Behind 'The Fisherman'
The Fisherman, also known as The Angler, was painted in 1874 and is a prime example of Renoir's association with the impressionist movement. The composition focuses on the fisherman of the title, through his strong vertical stance and his central position. His female companion is depicted in the background, adding depth and intrigue to the scene.
The Impressionist Movement
Impressionism emerged in France in the late 19th century as a reaction against academic painting. The movement was characterized by its emphasis on capturing the sensory effect of a scene - the impression objects made on the eye in a fleeting instant - rather than depicting details and contours. Renoir, along with other notable impressionists such as Monet and Degas, sought to capture the transient effects of light and color in their works.
