Pierre-Auguste Renoir “Le Moissonneuse” Les Sanguines Dessins

Pierre-Auguste Renoir (February 25, 1841 — December 3, 1919) was a French artist who was a leading painter , etcher and print-maker in the development of the Impressionist style.

As a celebrator of beauty, and especially feminine sensuality, it has been said that “Renoir is the final representative of a tradition which runs directly from Rubens to Watteau”.
