Pierre-Auguste Renoir (25 February 1841 – 3 December 1919) was a French artist who is most remembered for his involvement in the Impressionist art movement.

His artistic talents were recognized when he was a young boy, and he was enrolled in art school where he studied the French masters. His earliest influences were Camille Pissarro and Édouard Manet.

Like his fellow Impressionist artists, Renoir’s work was repeatedly rejected from the Paris Salon as it was seen as too unconventional in style. This forced him and his fellow artist friends to launch the very first Impressionist art exhibit in 1874 in which he had several pieces shown. This show launched Renoir’s career and gave him the world recognition he was seeking.

Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s art is known for its bright and saturated colors. In his early adult career, most of Renoir’s pieces were almost like windows into his social world, often full of light and joy, and showing dances, rowing, eating, picnics, etc. After a trip to Italy and seeing the works of Michelangelo, he shifted his focus to a more classical style, known as his Ingres period, in which he found his favorite subject, the female nude.

Renoir married a dressmaker, Aline Charigot, who he often used as a model in his work (he often used Aline’s cousin, Gabrielle Renard, as well). Renoir and Aline already had one son together, and then an additional two more sons after their marriage. Each child grew up to be an artist in their own right.

In the later years of his life, Renoir developed rheumatoid arthritis, though this did not deter his work and he painted through to the end of his life, often taping his paintbrush to his stiff fingers. Pierre-Auguste Renoir died in 1919 at 78 years old.
