Still Life with Melon — Renoir, 1905, Art Postcard

Pierre-Auguste Renoir was sixty-four when he painted Still Life with Melon in 1905, by then settling into the warm reds and pinks of his last years. A halved melon shows its green-orange flesh; beside it a small vase holds roses and carnations on a relaxed table. The card is meant for kitchen-wall lovers, for friends who keep fruit-bowl paintings near the dining table, and for anyone who likes their Renoir late, warm and domestic.
