Renoir: His Life and Works in 500 Images

This informative and fascinating new book looks in detail at Renoir’s influences, life and works. The first part of the book begins with an examination of his style. It covers Renoir’s techniques and training, painting copies at the Louvre, his time at the Ecole des Beaux-Art, meeting his muse, Lise Trehot, working with fellow impressionist artists and his struggles for recognition. The second part of the book is a comprehensive gallery showing the artist’s work in 300 pictures, each accompanied by an in-depth analysis of its context within his life, his technique and his body of work as a whole.
