About Auguste Renoir 1841-1919 The entire work of Renoir, who was born in Limoges in 1841, is characterized by his indestructible belief in the lifelong power of nature. The bright colors of his landscapes, the sensual grace of the pictures of women and young girls, with their slight cheerfulness. Initially, Renoir worked as a porcelain painter and studied Antoine Watteau and François Boucher in Louvre. In 1862 he began studying on the École des Beaux-Art, in order to then turn to the influence of Barbizon's school in the late 1960s. Together with Claude Monet, Frédéric Bazille and Alfred Sisley, he discovered the special advantages of painting outdoors and maintained close contacts with Camille Pissarro and Paul Cézanne. Like Claude Monet, he developed the loose brush -made arto, which is so characteristic of impressionism, with which the color that is constantly changing in the light can be captured. In addition to the landscapes, portraits, including his painting friends and his favorite model Lise Tréhot, were also created.
