About Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Renoir started out as an apprentice porcelain painter in Paris, and in the late 1860s and 1870s he painted beside Monet on the Seine in quick, broken strokes. His touch later grew softer, and in his last years he lived at Cagnes-sur-Mer on the Mediterranean, painting despite severe arthritis.

The river scenes at Argenteuil and Chatou come from his Impressionist years, and “The Gust of Wind” turns a meadow into a study of moving air. The south appears in the sea at Antibes, a landscape near Cagnes and Mont Sainte-Victoire, painted on a visit to Cézanne. The still lifes range from peaches and grapes to lemons and an orange, beside bouquets of peonies, roses and field flowers. The paintings are reproduced as giclée prints in pigment inks, made to order in Berlin on matte 210 g/m² fine art paper or 400 g/m² cotton canvas, A4 to A0.
