Foreword
Pierre-Auguste Renoir is French painter who was important figure in the development of the Impressionist movement. As a celebrator of feminine beauty Renoir is the last representative of a tradition which runs in a straight line from Rubens to Watteau.
Renoir's artworks are famous for their vivacious light and saturated color, most frequently focusing on people in friendly and intimate compositions. The female nudes were one of his primary themes. In typical Impressionist manner, Renoir suggested the details of a picture through liberally brushed touches of color, so that his figures softly fuse with one another and their environment.

He was a founding member of the Impressionist movement, nevertheless he ceased to exhibit with the group after 1877. From the 1880s until well into the twentieth century, he developed a monumental, classically inspired style that influenced such avant-garde giants as Pablo Picasso.
Renoir was born in Limoges 1841 in a working class family.

From 1862 to 1864 he attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and studied under Charles Gleyre. Here he met Frederic Bazille, Claude Monet and Alfred Sisley. Renoir exhibited at the Salon in 1864.
His early work reflected many influences including those of Courbet, Manet, Corot, Ingres and Delacroix. Under the influence of Gustave Courbet and painters of the School of Barbizon he turned to plein air painting. He began to earn his living with portraiture in the 1870s; an important work of this period was Madame Charpentier and her Children.
Together with Claude Monet he develops the new painting style of Impressionism around 1870; Renoir is regarded as one of
