Pierre Auguste Renoir's father was a tailor, so the young Renoir grew up in simple circumstances. When he was three years old the family moved from Limoges to Paris. At the age of 13 Renoir had to finish school and started an apprenticeship as a porcelain painter. He learnt so quickly and well that he was entrusted with complicated paintings at the age of 15 and earned enough to support his parents financially. Later the young man earned his money by painting fans and designing coats of arms and the like. At the age of 20 Renoir began to study painting. But he also got to know impressionist painters outside the painting school, such as Gustave Courbet, Claude Monet and Alfred Sisley, was inspired by them and painted together with them, very often in the open air and sometimes even the same scene. When the artist was 26 years old, his first painting was exhibited at the art exhibition "Paris Salon". The painting "Lise with the parasol" shows his then lover Lise Trehout. Renoir became very successful. He also took on many portrait commissions, which brought him financial security and allowed him to undertake long journeys, which took him to Italy and Algeria, for example. On one of his trips to Italy, the artist intensively studied works by Raffael and Ingres. Subsequently, his painting style changed, the so-called dry or Ingres period Renoir's style of classicism followed. Probably the most famous painting of Renoir from this second creative phase bears the title "Les Grandes Baigneuses- Die großen Badenden".
At fifty, Renoir married his long-time lover Aline Charigot. With her he had three sons: Pierre, Jean and Claude. At the end of the 1880s Auguste Renoir began to suffer from arthritis in his hands and had more and more difficulties with painting. He moved to Cagnes sur Mer near Nice because the Mediterranean climate alleviated his suffering. Nevertheless, he was getting worse and worse. Eventually he could no longer walk and was in a wheelchair. Contemporaries describe that he had the brush tied to his hand so that he could still guide it. When Renoir died at the age of 78, he left behind about 6000 paintings. His landscapes, portraits, nudes and social scenes can be found in many museums worldwide.
