Book Synopsis

Pierre-Auguste Renoir was one of the foremost Impressionist artists, known for his en plein air scenes of middle-class leisure. But Renoir''s primary interest lay indoors, in depictions of sensuous female nudes and intimate domestic scenes, painted in a warm, bright palette.
This book explores the life and work of this leading light of Impressionism, showcasing his best-loved artwork alongside fascinating biographical detail. It also examines the development of his artistic practices, which began to diverge from many other Impressionist painters as he incorporated some elements of a classical style into his work.

ABOUT THE SERIES: The Great Artists series by Arcturus Publishing introduces some of the most significant artists in history, looking at their lives, techniques and inspirations, as well as presenting a selection of their best work.
