"Acrobats at the Cirque Fernando (Francisca and Angelina Wartenberg)" — Pierre-Auguste Renoir, 1879

This luminous Impressionist masterpiece captures two young sisters, Francisca and Angelina Wartenberg, performing their acrobatic act at the Cirque Fernando in Paris. Painted by Pierre-Auguste Renoir in 1879, the work radiates the artist's signature warmth — the glow of the footlights, the shimmering sequined costumes and the bold compositional perspective seen from the audience.

One of Renoir's most celebrated works from the height of the Impressionist movement, the painting now hangs in the Art Institute of Chicago. It offers a fascinating glimpse into Parisian popular entertainment of the era, before the circus became a subject of modern art itself.
