Pierre-Auguste Renoir Art
French, 1841-1919
An early 20th-century master, Pierre-Auguste Renoir created thousands of figurative prints and paintings and is credited as one of the founders of the Impressionist movement. His frequently reproduced works are appreciated for their luminous appearance, rich colors and soft, feathered brushstrokes.
Renoir was born in Limoges, France, in 1841. He began painting as a child while working in a porcelain factory, which led to a formal study of art in Paris under Charles Gleyre. In the early 1860s, he often visited the Louvre to study French master painters, and he became friends with Claude Monet and Alfred Sisley, both leading Impressionists.
Renoir first exhibited his paintings in 1864, but he did not rise to prominence until his first exhibition with the Impressionists in 1874. In 1877, Renoir stopped exhibiting with the Impressionists and embarked on a series of travels. In 1881, he went to Algeria and Spain, meeting the artists Eugène Delacroix and Diego Velázquez. He continued to Rome, Sicily, Algeria and Guernsey, where he created 15 paintings in one month in the summer of 1883.
In 1890, Renoir married Aline Victorine Charigot, a portrait model and muse for many of his works. They had three sons, and in 1907, Renoir moved his family to the village of Cagnes-sur-Mer, near the Mediterranean. By this time, he had developed arthritis in his hands, and he had a stroke in 1912, after which he used a wheelchair. Renoir continued to paint for the rest of his life, even strapping a brush to his paralyzed fingers.
Shortly before his death in 1919, Renoir visited the Louvre to see his paintings now hanging next to the artistic icons that he used to study and admire. He returned to his home village and died in December of that year.

"The Enigma of The Egg" Texas/Mexican Artist Studied with Zuniga
By Alberto Saucedo
Located in San Antonio, TX
Alberto Saucedo (Born 1960) Texas Artist (Sculptor/Painter)
21.5 inches tall Medium: Bronze 2016 "The Enigma of The Egg"
Alberto was born in 1960. He was raised in Mexico City.
Alberto Saucedo began his career as self-taught artist who demonstrated at a young age a remarkable talent and passion for art that eventually at seventeen years of age led him to formal studies at Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México and later on enrolled at San Diego City College. There he focused on Commercial Art and Interior Design. It was there, where he evolved his unique personal style. It was also at this time that he discovered the work of Master sculptor Francisco Zuñiga and studied sculpture with him. Sculpture subsequently became a major part of Saucedo’s work, and achieved his first real recognition in his field. Saucedo’s training has included a generous study of art history, where he incorporates his sensuous, spiritual and classical techniques, transforming it into a style that becomes evident in his work.

Questions About Pierre-Auguste Renoir Art
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024To tell if a painting is a Renoir, familiarize yourself with the artist’s signature by looking at examples on trusted online resources. Renoir did sign many of his works, often in an upper or lower corner. For unsigned works, it is necessary to look for the signature characteristics of the French Impressionist’s work. Among these are feathered or broken brush strokes, the use of vivid colors and his tendency to depict subjects engaging in leisure activities, often in outdoor settings. Because there are many convincing reproductions of Renoir's work, experts recommend consulting a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer when trying to authenticate a work that is potentially by the artist.
