AUGUSTE RENOIR

The virtuosos of the canvas

An episode from the series GREAT PAINTERS

Synopsis

Painting the joy of life, light, and sensuality was the pursuit that ran throughout Auguste Renoir's work.

Portraits, dance scenes, landscapes, and nudes all reflect his fascination with movement and the human figure, which he rendered with a free, luminous, and vibrant brushstroke.

From *The Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette* to *The Bathers*, Renoir left behind a body of work that is instantly recognizable and has become one of the most popular in modern painting.
