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.
