TODAY'S POST IS ABOUT RENOIR. HIS IMPRESSIONISTIC STYLE DURING THE SAME ERA AS CLAUDE MONET, IN FACT THEY WERE FRIENDS.
Renoir was born in Limoges, France, on February 25,1841. His drawing talents led him to become a painter of scenes on fine china in a porcelain factory. As a young man he also visited the Louvre quite often to study the great masters paintings. He then began to study art in Paris, where he met Claude Monet.

Renoir chose to paint his subjects close up rather than at a distance like Claude Monet did. And he was also an Impressionist artist choosing a bright pallet for his colors.

Thank you for visiting me and great to come back and see your other French posts.
Renoir is one of my favourite Artists.
We were lucky enough to see an Exhibition here in NZ about 20 years ago - it was Rembrant to Renoir and had the most amazing works and gorgeous paintings.
Happy day

Ouuu Renoir, my grandmother got me a print of the two sisters painting that is hanging in my room right now, I just love it!
Thank you for your visit to my blog Teresa! I bought my copy of Streams in the Desert at a second hand book shop. You know Renoir is one of my favorite painters. I grew up with lots of pictures of Renoir paintings because my mom loved him too! You have a great weekend! patsy
