Pierre-Auguste Renoir | The Models

Pierre-Auguste Renoir loved women.

Most of his subjects were female, often women who were relatives, friends and lovers. Even his son was frequently dressed up as a little girl, appearing in a lovable and innocent manner in his paintings.

In his later years, female figures became an important theme for Renoir. We shall briefly introduce a few of the ladies who often appeared in Renoir's paintings and describe their relationships with the artist.

This will give us a better understanding of the artist's state of mind as we admire his figurative works.
