Pierre-Auguste Renoir lived from 1841 to 1919. He was a famous painter of Impressionism, perhaps the only artist who never produced a sad painting. He believed that art needs to be pretty, and eventually left Impressionism to paint classical nudes.
Some of his most famous paintings are "Le Moulin de la Galette", "Le Pont des Arts et l'Institut de France" and "The Bathers".
He was born on February 25, 1841, at Limoges, France and died on December 3, 1919, at Cagnes sur Mer, France.
