Young Renoir, c.1875 by unknown

Pierre Auguste RENOIR (25 Feb 1841 – 3 Dec 1919, aged 78). Renoir was a French painter born in Limoges, France, on February 25th, 1841. He was one of the leading artists of the Impressionist movement and is known for his vivid depictions of Parisian life and landscapes. Renoir began his artistic training at the age of thirteen, working as an apprentice in a porcelain factory, where he learned to paint and decorate ceramics. In 1862, he began studying at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris but left after a year to pursue his own style of painting. In 1869, Renoir exhibited at the Salon des Refusés, an alternative art exhibition in Paris, and began to gain recognition for his work. He became close friends with other prominent artists of the time, including Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, and Edgar Degas. Renoir's paintings are characterized by their bright colors and loose brushwork, which gave his subjects a sense of movement and vitality. His famous works include "Luncheon of the Boating Party" (1881), "Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette" (1876), and "Two Sisters (On the Terrace)" (1881). In his later years, Renoir suffered from rheumatoid arthritis, which made it difficult for him to paint. However, he continued to work with the help of assistants, producing some of his most famous paintings, including "The Bathers" (1918). Renoir died on December 3, 1919, at the age of 78, in the town of Cagnes-sur-Mer, France. [portrait photograph of young Renoir by unknown, c.1875]
