Pierre-Auguste Renoir

French · 1841–1919

Impressionism

One of the central figures of French Impressionism, Renoir brought an unmatched warmth to the movement through open-air light, loose brushwork, and a palette devoted to the pleasures of social life. Luncheon of the Boating Party and Moulin de la Galette are among Impressionism's most loved and immediately recognisable paintings.
