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".
