More about this artwork

Pierre Bonnard's painting titled "The Arc De Triomphe" captures a distinctly impressionistic and fragmented view of one of Paris's most iconic landmarks. The artwork skillfully conveys the bustling atmosphere of a city scene while maintaining a sense of ethereal subtlety. The foreground features ghostly outlines of horses and carriages, hinting at movement through what appears to be a busy street. The trees, sketched with delicate, expressive lines, frame the scene and add a natural texture that contrasts with the urban backdrop.The Arc De Triomphe itself is depicted in the middle distance, standing as a focal point amidst a fragmented assembly of foliage and architectural forms. The monument is not rendered in sharp detail but suggested through a more blurred and suggestive approach. Bonnard uses a limited palette dominated by earthy browns, muted blues, and touches of red that punctuate the scene, drawing the viewer’s eye to specific elements like the small figures dressed in red.Overall, the painting evokes a sense of fleeting moment captured through quick, sketch-like strokes and a haze of activity, characteristic of Bonnard’s style, which often focuses on the interplay of light and color to capture the essence of a scene rather than its detailed realism.

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.
