Born: February 25, 1841 in Limoges [Died] December 3, 1919. French painter from Cagnes. A representative painter of French Impressionism. Born into a tailor's family, he moved with his family to Paris at the age of four and worked as an apprentice at the Sèvres porcelain factory. In 1862, he entered the studio of Charles Gleyre, where he became acquainted with Claude Monet and Alfred Sisley. He exhibited at the Salon in 1864 and 1865. He then joined the Impressionist painting movement, and participated in the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874, and exhibited three more times thereafter. He traveled to Italy from 1881 to 1882 and was influenced by classical painting, and from around 1883 he painted classical-style pictures with strict lines and pale colors. However, a few years later, a fresh sense of color appeared again, and he painted portraits and landscapes with rainbow, orange, and red as the main colors, developing and perfecting his own style as a colorist. From 1895-96 he began to paint more and more series of nudes, and in his later years he also began to produce sculptures, leaving behind images of voluptuous women. The villa Colette in Cagnes in southern France, where he lived during his lifetime, is now the Renoir Museum. His major works include "Ballet at the Moulin de la Galette" (1876, Musee d'Orsay), "Madame Charpentier and Children" (1878, Metropolitan Museum of Art), and "Bathers" (1918-19, Musee d'Orsay).
