According to the National Gallery where this painting resides, Renoir's 'Umbrellas' shows the artist at two
separate points in his career, the second of which was a moment of
crisis as he fundamentally reconsidered his painting style when he was becoming increasingly disillusioned with the Impressionist technique. The Umbrellas shows a bustling Paris street in the rain.
