Abstract
The French painter Auguste Renoir, together with Claude Monet, is one of the original founders of Impressionism. Together, they developed a way of painting in spots of color that led to the apparent brightening of the canvases.
Renoir followed the French Rococo with glittering light phenomena in nature and in the interior, depicting joyful scenes from Parisian life, gallant relationships, portraits and girls' and women's nudes. Research into his life and work has recently advanced from the last century to meticulous details, mainly thanks to Anglo-American research over the past two decades.
The lecture is realized for the cultural public within the third role of the university in the original author's cycle Artist and Man.
