About this experience
Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841–1919) was a major figure of Impressionism and, alongside Manet, Degas, Monet, and Caillebotte, one of the 19th century’s great painters of modern life.
Between 1865 and 1885, he developed a light, fluid style and a new repertoire of modern scenes, capturing relationships between men and women in theatres, cafés, guinguettes, boulevards, and gardens.
From March 17th to July 19th, 2026, Renoir and Love: A Joyful Modernity (1865–1885) reexamines this pivotal period and, for the first time since the last Renoir retrospective in Paris in 1985, brings together in France some of the artist’s greatest masterpieces.
