Pierre Auguste Renoir, French (1841-1919)
Born in Limoges, France in 1841, Renoir was a leading figure in the Impressionist movement. He obtained his early art study at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris and decided in a career of painting. Although he was interested in solidarity of form and richness of color, Renoir adopted the Impressionistic technique of broken color. He preferred figure painting to panorama, and represented the more sociable aspects of Impressionism. Renoir died in Cagnes in 1919.
