Portrait of Pierre-Auguste Renoir Pierre-Auguste Renoir (February 25, 1841- December 3, 1919) was a French artist who was a leading painter in the development of the Impressionist style. As a celebrator of beauty, especially feminine sensuality, it has been said that "Renoir is the final representative of a tradition which runs directly from Rubens to Watteau."
Renoir experienced his initial acclaim when six of his paintings hung in the first impressionist exhibition in 1874. Renoir's paintings were notable for their vibrant light and saturated color, most often focusing on people in intimate and candid compositions.
In 1919, Renoir visited the Louvre to see his paintings hanging with the old masters. He died in the village of Cagnes-sur-Mer, Provence-Alpes-cote d'azur on December 3, 1919.
