Description
The Loge" After Pierre Auguste Renoir, signed Edmond. Circa last quarter 20th century.
The paining by Edmond is slighly larger than the original that Renoir painted in 1874.
The painting depicts a young couple in a box at the Paris theatre. The woman was modelled by Nini Lopez, Renoir's new model who would feature in fourteen of his paintings over the next few years. The man was his brother Edmond, a journalist and art critic. Going to the theatre was as much about being seen as watching the performance and whilst the woman is making her presence obvious, her companion is scanning the audience through his opera-glasses.
La Loge was included in the Salon in 1874, where reaction was mixed. It was subsequently shown in London in an exhibition organised by his dealer Paul Durand-Ruel, making it one of the earliest Impressionist paintings to be shown in England, but did not sell at either exhibition. It was bought the following year by the dealer ‘Père’ Martin for 425 francs.
