Auguste Renoir – Great Master of Impressionism

French artist Pierre Auguste Renoir was one of the leading painters within the Impressionism. His work makes the beauty one of the hallmarks of the style with a special emphasis on feminine sensuality. Thus, the paintings of this famous French painter are seen as ones that maintain the continuity with the great masters Rubens, or later, Watteau.
