Bathers by a River

Bathers by a River is considered by Henri Matisse to be one of the five most "pivotal" works of his career, and with good reason: it facilitated the evolution of the artist's style over the course of nearly a decade. Originally, the work was related to a 1909 commission by the Russian collector Sergei Shchukin, who wanted two large canvases to decorate the staircase of his Moscow home. Matisse proposed three pastoral images, though Shchukin decided to purchase only two works, Dance and Music.  100% Hand painted art: Size: Various Sizes Available Medium:  Oil on canvas Type: Reproduction Artist: Henri Matisse Delivery Time: 14-21 days Item #: MATISSE-006 The Joy of Life by Henri Matisse can be reproduced with the same emotions of the original masterpiece.
