More about this artwork

"Pierre Bonnard's painting, Promenade Des Nourrices, Frise Des Fiacres," offers an interesting and somewhat sparsely detailed scene captured in a distinctive illustrative style. The artwork is intriguing with its muted color palette, primarily in tones of brown, beige, and white, which provides a dreamlike, almost ethereal quality.At the top of the painting, there's a line of horse-drawn carriages, a common mode of transportation in earlier times, suggesting that the scene could be set in the late 19th or early 20th century. This repetitive pattern of carriages and horses creates a rhythmic visual frieze that guides the viewer's eyes across the canvas.The central and lower parts of the painting are occupied by figures that appear to be women and children, suggesting a day out or a social gathering, typical of nursemaids or nannies (nourrices) taking children out for a promenade. Their attire, marked by voluminous and detailed dresses, hints at a bygone era, reinforcing the historical context suggested by the carriages above.The scene appears to be set outdoors as indicated by the vague outlines that might suggest a park or public walking area, though the background is quite abstract and minimalist, leaving much to the viewer’s imagination.

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.
