Auguste Renoir, February 25, 1841

–December 3, 1919) was a famous French painter and an important painter of Impressionism

Born in 1841 in the small town of Limoges in Haute-Vienne, France, he moved with his family to Paris. One of the members of the Impressionists. He is known for his oil paintings, as well as sculptures and prints.

Renoir worked as an apprentice in his early years, painting ceramics, fans, curtains, etc., and later under the influence of Delacroix and Courbet, he had a deep study of Rubens and French 18th-century painting.

In terms of creation, it can combine traditional painting methods with impressionist methods, and express the fluttering and clear atmosphere of sunlight and air with bright and transparent colors. Unique style

Appreciation: La Grenouillere, located on the outskirts of Bougival, west of the capital, is a popular spot for excursions from Paris and summer swimming. Sunlight shines through the green leaves on the sparkling Seine River. People frolick in the water or sail on the water. On an artificial island called Camembert or Flowerbed, a group of well-dressed men and women cool off under a tree.

In the summer of 1869, the painter Auguste Renoir and his colleague and friend Claude Monet

(Claude Monet) spent a few days together. They paint the same subject. They compete to see who can present their subjective impressions on canvas faster. Renoir completed the painting directly using the paint in the tube with a short and fast brush stroke. It is an instant impression, consisting of a series of shimmering colors and reflections of the surface of the water. To his contemporaries, the painting seems unfinished, just a sketch. But today, we think of it as an Impressionist textbook example.
