Unlike his Impressionist contemporaries, such as Monet, Manet and Sisley, Renoir did not paint still lifes until the latter part of his career. From around 1880 onwards he began to concentrate more on painting flowers, fruit and everyday objects and found that these still lifes afforded him the opportunity to focus solely on colour and form without the distraction of composition and perspective. With his light, swift touch Renoir took great pleasure in the sensuous qualities of oil paint and often considered still life painting to be a welcome break from his larger projects.
