More about this artwork

"Le Fiacre" is a striking impressionist painting by Pierre Bonnard that vividly captures an everyday scene with a touch of the ephemeral and the evocative. Dated 1898, this piece presents a lively Parisian street seen through the unique lens of Bonnard’s brushstrokes.In the foreground, the focal point is a woman seated in a horse-drawn cab, known as a 'fiacre'. She is elegantly dressed, epitomizing the chic Parisian style with her wide-brimmed hat and delicate attire, evoking a sense of the era's fashion. Beside her, the figure of the coachman, slightly obscured, adds to the sense of motion the painting conveys. His presence is marked by darker, more subdued tones compared to the vivid colors used for the female passenger.The background teems with vibrant life, depicting other figures and possibly a glimpse of a bustling market or a busy street, draped in fluttering flags and bustling activity. The blurs and splashes of color throughout the painting suggest movement and the fleeting moments of city life.Pierre Bonnard’s skillful use of color and texture not only portrays a simple moment in Paris but also imbues it with a sense of immediacy and vibrancy.

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.
