Montblanc - Masters of Art Fountain Pen Homage to Pierre-Auguste Renoir Limited Edition 4810 M

Throughout history, great artists have expressed the human experience in a universal language of form and beauty. The Montblanc Masters of Art Collection pays tribute to their eternal contribution to the pursuit of perfection in art: a quest that Montblanc has always promoted and celebrated. Pierre-Auguste Renoir is one of the most prominent precursors of modernism, whose sunlit paintings laid the foundation for an entire movement: Impressionism. Respectfully honoring the pioneering work of this illustrious French impressionist, Montblanc has created the Masters of Art Homage to Pierre-Auguste Renoir Limited Edition 4810. As if to immortalize Renoir's presence, the edition is made from olive wood and smeared with paint as if it had been pulled directly from the artist's hand. The painter himself would likely have chosen no other wood, as he loved the old olive trees in his garden in southern France, to which he dedicated many paintings. Renoir captured fleeting moments and translated them onto canvas using vibrant colors and swift brushstrokes. An intriguing detail is the clip, now shaped like two brushes, similar to those used by Renoir to create both the finer details and broader surfaces of his masterpieces.

The top of the cap is adorned with a precious ultramarine resin that surrounds the Montblanc emblem. The ring on the top of the cap bears the engraving 1874, the year of the first exhibition of this new generation of artists, the Impressionists. Thus, 1874 marks the birth of Impressionism as a standalone movement. The delicate folding fan with two tassels that adorns the handcrafted solid gold Au 750 nib is a tribute to the significance of the fan, an accessory that appears in many of Renoir's works, especially in many of his insightful portraits of women. In homage to the painter's skill, the gold finish cone integrates a silver tip made of delicate sterling silver Ag 925, allowing for sketches with a silver point.
