About me: Pierre Auguste Renoir (born February 25, 1841,
Limoges, France—died December 3, 1919,
Cagnes) French painter originally associated with
the Impressionist movement. He was one of the
central figures of the impressionist movement (a
French art movement of the second half of the
nineteenth century whose members sought in their
works to represent the first impression of an
object upon the viewer). His work is characterized
by a richness of feeling and a warmth of response
to the world and to the people in it.
