Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Pierre-Auguste Renoir

1841–1919

Renoir favored the human figure over landscape, painting dance halls, boating parties, and portraits with a warmth and softness distinct from his peers. He trained first as a porcelain painter, a craft that left a lasting mark on his handling of color and light.
