Place de la Trinité, Paris — Renoir, 1892, Art Postcard

Pierre-Auguste Renoir painted Place de la Trinité in 1892, when his late style softened into atmospheric Paris views. A line of carriages rolls past trees still in summer green; the church of La Trinité watches the square in cool stone. As a postcard, the scene carries late nineteenth-century Paris into a stranger's hands — a small piece of Impressionist boulevard life for friends who collect cityscapes, for travellers home from France, or for a Postcrossing partner who keeps a Renoir shelf.
