Among the most renowned artists of French Impressionism Pierre-Auguste Renoir is regarded the grandmaster of the "small pleasures".
The works by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, who was occupied with painting, drawing and printing techniques, emanate a touching optimism and a positive feeling, which finds particularly suitable expression in his charming young girls, the buxom children and the flower still lifes. Pierre-Auguste Renoir must have certainly come into contact with such motifs during his apprenticeship as a porcelain painter, and while he was studying art in Paris. However, it was the examination of Realism and the works by Claude Monet and Alfred Sisley that helped him to perform the impressive synthesis. His style underwent changes in 1883, as this was when Paul Cézanne's influence on Pierre-Auguste Renoir began to increase, as a consequence he took on classicist tendencies, he soon created his "The Large Bathers".
Pierre-Auguste Renoir, one of the world's greatest painters, can be found in the most renowned museums all over the world.
