		Pierre Auguste Renoir, the genius and traditionalist of the Impressionist movement, and a follower in the grand line of Titian, Tintoretto, Rubens, Fragonard, Delacroix, Courbet, Manet, and Ingres, was born in Limoges, the son of a tailor.
		Renoir's love of painting was so great, that even in his final years, confined to bed with brushes bound to his crippled, arthritic wrists, he produced Olympian canvases with resonant colors.
		By 1880, Renoir felt that he could go no further as an Impressionist, and in 1881 he went to Italy, staying at first in Venice, next in Rome where he studied Raphael's frescoes, and finally in Naples and Pompeii.

	WetCanvas: Virtual Museum: Individual Artists: Pierre Auguste Renoir
		Pierre Auguste Renoir was the son of a tailor from Limoges.
		Renoir’s artistic progress was interrupted during the Franco-Prussian War, but soon after the fighting stopped, he took up painting again, and for the next ten years he was very much associated with the Impressionists, where rich colour, delicate brush stokes, and light palette created a highly individual style.
		Renoir was equally determined, as a matter of practical business, to make a success in the Salon instead of directing himself toward the handful of art lovers who were "capable" of liking a painting without Salon approval.

	The Impressionists
		Renoir's indebtedness to Delacroix is apparent in the lush painterliness of the Odalisque (1870).
		Renoir died at Cagnes-sur-Mer on December 3, 1919, but his death was preceded by an experience of supreme triumph: the state had purchased his portrait Madame Georges Charpentier (1877), and he traveled to Paris in August to see it hanging in the Louvre.
		The styles of Renoir and Monet were virtually identical at this time, an indication of the dedication with which they pursued and shared their new discoveries.

		Pierre-Auguste Renoir was undoubtedly one of the most prolific artists ever with about 6000 paintings completed during the 60 years he was active as an artist.

	Pierre-Auguste Renoir
		That year, Renoir and Monet and a number of other artists including Berthe Morisot, Pissarro and Degas who, like themselves were disaffected with the Salon Jury, held the first exhibition of the group which was to become known as the Impressionists.
		Feeling that he was sacrificing too much to the vagaries of ever-changing light and the atmospheric affects sought by Impressionism, Renoir moved away from the group during the 1880's and returned to a more classical style, in which line and form assumed an importance not found in his work of the previous decade.
		They began to go on painting expeditions to the Forest of Fontainebleau, where Renoir was befriended by the painter Diaz, who advised him to drop black from his palette, and who also helped him to sell some of his work.

	Renoir, Pierre-Auguste -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		As a young student in Paris, Claude Monet, along with Auguste Renoir and Alfred Sisley, began to paint in new and creative ways.
		His portraits, landscapes, and still lifes have a unique texture and light that places Renoir's work among that of the world's finest artists.
		From the time that artists first used light in their paintings, they showed form through differences in values (the amount of light and dark in a color) and through modeling (the use of light and shade whereby a three-dimensional effect is achieved).
