If you like his works or simply are interested in art, this article is for you. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>Born in 1841 in the French city of Limoges, Pierre-Auguste Renoir showed interest for art at an early age. He was the son of a tailor and a seamstress, his family and him moved to Â鶹APP in 1845. He was still a child when he started working in a porcelain factory as a decorator. At the age of eighteen years old, the artists started decorating and painting blinds and fans.  <\/p>\n<p>In 1862, Renoir started studying in the Academy of Fine Arts. Then, he was admitted to the academy of the Swiss painter Charles Gabriel Gleyre when he got to meet other artists, such as Claude Monet and Alfred Sisley, and other famous artists of the time as well that turned out to be an inspiration for his own works. He discovers artists that allowed him to find his own style. For instance, Manet greatly influenced the treatment of light in his paintings, while Delacroix influenced his use of colours. Renoir&#8217;s bright colours, his smooth traces and harmonic images invite the viewer into an imaginative and beautiful atmosphere where the presence of human forms in peaceful lyrical sceneries are highlighted.<\/p>\n<p>Now that you know a little more about the French painter Renoir, read on and find out 5 interesting facts about him! <\/p>\n<h4>Renoir is one of the most important figures of the Impressionism<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/5interestingfactsaboutfrenchpainterrenoir1.jpg\" alt=\"5interestingfactsaboutfrenchpainterrenoir1\" width=\"1100\" height=\"765\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13016\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/5interestingfactsaboutfrenchpainterrenoir1.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/5interestingfactsaboutfrenchpainterrenoir1-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/5interestingfactsaboutfrenchpainterrenoir1-768x534.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/5interestingfactsaboutfrenchpainterrenoir1-1024x712.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/5interestingfactsaboutfrenchpainterrenoir1-610x424.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/5interestingfactsaboutfrenchpainterrenoir1-816x567.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Renoir got admitted to the atelier of Charles Gleyre. That is where he met Claude Monet, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Bazille and Alfred Sisley. A strong friendship between the four men was born. They even used to go to the <i><strong>Forest of Fontainebleau<\/i><\/strong> where they painted landscape paintings. Ingres, Dehodencq, Gustave Courbet and Eug\u00e8ne Delacroix are some of his favorite artists. In some of his works, one can see their influences. <\/p>\n<p>One day, he stayed at <i>La Grenouill\u00e8re<\/i>, which is a former place of leisure that was very popular among the French, with Claude Monet. This stay was very important for the development of their art technics. They painted outdoors. Renoir&#8217;s colour palette evolved during this time. The treatment of light and the shading technics are much better and appealing. While Monet enjoyed painting the landscape, Renoir preferred painting human figures. <\/p>\n<p>In 1876, he moved in an atelier, located at <i>12 rue Cortot<\/i> in Montmartre, which later became the <i><strong>Mus\u00e9e de Montmartre<\/i><\/strong> in 1960. <\/p>\n<p>The Impressionism in an art movement of the nineteenth century. The Impressionists preferred representing their impressions rather the reality.

His paintings represented the return to the classicism. <\/p>\n<p>Some of Renoir&#8217;s works are very sensual. He enjoyed emphasizing the nudity and focusing women in some of his masterpieces. But, during his life, he explored different art styles and technics. His earlier productions included landscapes and sceneries, then he started painting portraits. For a certain time, his classical roots were seen in his works, where he focused on the details of the figures represented in his paintings. <\/p>\n<p><strong>>><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/tour\/paris-walking-tours\/skip-the-line-orsay-montmartre-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Join our special Montmartre and Orsay Museum tour to learn more about Impressionist painters and Renoir&#8217;s art style evolution<\/a>.<br \/>\n<strong>>><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/impressionism-in-paris-the-painters-and-the-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read this article about Impressionism in Â鶹APP<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>His most famous work<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/5interestingfactsaboutfrenchpainterrenoir5.jpg\" alt=\"5interestingfactsaboutfrenchpainterrenoir5\" width=\"2200\" height=\"1639\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13011\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/5interestingfactsaboutfrenchpainterrenoir5.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/5interestingfactsaboutfrenchpainterrenoir5-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/5interestingfactsaboutfrenchpainterrenoir5-768x572.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/5interestingfactsaboutfrenchpainterrenoir5-1024x763.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/5interestingfactsaboutfrenchpainterrenoir5-610x454.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/5interestingfactsaboutfrenchpainterrenoir5-816x608.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2200px) 100vw, 2200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Renoir&#8217;s most famous work is without a doubt the painting <i>Bal du moulin de la Galette<\/i>.
