Pierre-Auguste Renoir (February 25, 1841–December 3, 1919) was a French artist who was a leading painter in the development of the Impressionist style. As a celebrator of beauty, and especially feminine sensuality, it has been said that "Renoir is the final representative of a tradition which runs directly from Rubens to Watteau".

I love Renoir's gentle portraits and soft colors. So pretty. Thanks for the culture this morning, Esther! &:o)
There appears to be a dignity and elegance in his subjects. I particularly like the two sisters, and the two friends and the delicacy with which he painted the vase of flowers. Lovely, Esther. Have a nice weekend!
He is my favorite! I have a large poster of Dance in the City in my entrance.
I think that is why I like this artist so much too Lisa.
Yes, he does capture that V. Thank you. Same to you.
Mary, glad I picked him!
