From Impressionism to Intimacy: How Renoir Painted Happiness 🎨

Renoir (1841–1919) is synonymous with warmth, tenderness, and an unbridled appreciation for life's simple pleasures. While he began his artistic journey as an Impressionist, capturing landscapes and outdoor scenes with dappled light, he eventually broke away to focus on what truly moved him: portraits. This shift in focus led to his signature style, filled with everyday goddesses and their voluptuous forms.
