Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) was a French Impressionist painter and a founding member of the Impressionist movement. He is best known for his paintings of Parisian city scenes and depictions of real-life scenes full of light and colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While Renoir was always a gifted artist, he didn\u2019t start his career as a pioneer of Impressionism. Before he developed his own distinct style, Renoir would study and copy the artworks at the Louvre. That\u2019s how he learnt how to paint: by closely observing the works of the old masters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Renoir studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, and later befriended other future influential artists such as Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Bazille,\u00a0Claude Monet\u00a0and Alfred Sisley. He was also involved with new artists such as Camille Pissarro and Paul C\u00e9zanne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 1874, Renoir and his friends showed their work at their own show in Paris \u2013 which was the first ever Impressionist exhibition. He contributed 6 pieces to the exhibition. While the show itself didn\u2019t get Renoir much recognition, he soon got noticed by other patrons and his career began to take off. He received success outside of France as a result of his travels to Algeria and Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He devoted his life to art and was so devoted to it that he ensured that he paid \u201cone last visit\u201d to the Louvre before his death. That’s commitment right there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.biography.com\/artist\/pierre-auguste-renoir Pierre-Auguste Renoir Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) was a French Impressionist painter and a founding member of the Impressionist movement.
