Pierre Auguste Renoir was born on February 25th, 1841 in Limoges. In 1854 Renoir left school to begin his apprenticeship as a porcelain painter at the firm of Levy freres. His precocious talent for painting would assure his career as a porcelain painter but the firm went bankrupt in 1858. After that Renoir dabbled in a number of different jobs but it seems that he may have decided to become a full-time painter around this date. In 1860 Renoir was granted permission to copy in the Louvre, a practice that he maintained for the next four years. At this time Renoir had a taste for 18th century masters. By the following year Renoir had begun attending the studio of Marc-Gabriel-Charles Gleyer, a Swiss teacher who offered practical instruction to a number of artists. Linked to Renoir’s desire for a ‘pure’ art was the notion of a mythical past in which people lived in a ‘natural’ state, based on the model of a pre-industrial era and in which individuality was highly valued. For Renoir this involved an artisanal approach to art, and he found its archetype in the art of pre-revolutionary eighteenth century France. Renoir died on December 3rd, 1919 in Cagnes, at age 78.
Renoir's paintings are notable for their vibrant light and saturated color, most often focusing on people in intimate and candid compositions. A prolific artist, he made several thousand paintings. The warm sensuality of Renoir's style made his paintings some of the most well-known and frequently-reproduced works in the history of art.
