FEATURED ARTIST
Renoir was one of the leading painters of the Impressionist group. He evolved a technique of broken brushstrokes and used bold combinations of pure complementary colours, to capture the light and movement of his landscapes and figure subjects.Perhaps Renoir's most famous work, 'Luncheon of the Boating Party' is now a symbol of the Impressionist movement and French painting from the 19th century. What makes the painting so engaging is the sense of life it exudes.
