Renoir (1841-1919)
Renoir was an Impressionist painter who tried to capture the heroism of modern life. He
did this by illustrating its dress and its pastimes.

Renoir's favourite scenes were from the world of entertainment such as dance halls,
cafes, concerts, and the theatre. His pictures radiate human warmth with their happy
temperament. The viewer's role is one of a casual stroller, taking in a slice of life in
passing. He was known for his treatment of light for mood as well as harmony of line.
