• ... that The Gust of Wind is Renoir's attempt to paint air?

The scene is thought to be near Saint-Cloud, or perhaps elsewhere in the Ile-de-France; however, as its title suggests, Renoir’s aim was less to record a recognizable tract of countryside than to register that most unpaintable of elements: air."

• Approve, a well-done and well-sourced page. My only concern is that the image is too small and should be enlarged in order to highlight both the page topic and a good example of Renoir's unique style. Randy Kryn (talk) 03:55, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
