About the Artist

Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841 - 1919) was a prominent French artist known for his exceptional contributions to Impressionism. Alongside fellow Impressionists such as Claude Monet and Edgar Degas, Renoir played a pivotal role in challenging the traditional art conventions of his time. Despite facing initial criticism, his works gained recognition and acclaim as the Impressionist movement flourished.
