Pierre-Auguste Renoir: Master of Light and Joy

Renoir began his artistic journey as a porcelain painter before studying at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Influenced by the works of Claude Monet and other Impressionists, Renoir developed a style characterized by fluid brushstrokes and a radiant interplay of color and light.
