More about this artwork

This painting by Pierre Bonnard, titled "Some Aspects Of Life In Paris, 11: A Street On A Rainy Evening," portrays a bustling city scene under the veil of rainfall. The scene is rich with movement and urban drama, despite the simplicity of its execution. The artwork seems to capture the wet pavements that reflect the lights from the windows and street lamps, contributing to a shimmering, almost glossy surface that suggests a slick, rain-washed street.The composition is filled with dark silhouettes and shapes of carriages and people, possibly shielding themselves with umbrellas, moving about their evening routines. The buildings across the top of the painting are depicted with lighted windows, suggesting life continues indoors, warm and bright against the dark and wet outdoor surroundings.Bonnard's use of dark, heavy tones contrasted with patches of yellow and lighter colors successfully conveys the luminous effects of city lights reflecting on wet surfaces, which is characteristic of rainy urban nights. The image evokes a sense of intimacy and immediacy, pulling the viewer into the atmosphere of a rainy Parisian evening. This piece is evocative of the mood and tempo of city life, capturing not just a visual scene but an ambiance.

Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) was a French post-impressionist painter, printmaker, and the leader of the Intimist art movement. He is regarded as one of the greatest colourists of modern art. Together with other young artists in Montmarte, Bonnard co-founded the group known as Les Nabis, translated from the arabic word “prophet”. He was known for a painting style that was very intimate, featuring friends in a garden, nudes, interiors and sunlit objects of everyday life. He began by painting in watercolor, composing scenes and deeply familiarizing himself with the subject, before transferring the composition to canvas. In many of his paintings, his mistress Marthe was the main subject. She was his most important model and was often pictured nude, after 30 years they finally married.
