In his monograph Renoir, Peter H. Feist explores the life and artistic development of Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841–1919), one of the foremost Impressionists. Renoir was a master of light, color, and the depiction of human beauty, and his works exude warmth and serenity. Feist analyzes his technique and style, highlighting key works such as The Party at the Moulin de la Galette, Mademoiselle Irène Cahen d’Anvers, and The Bath. The author emphasizes Renoir’s evolution from classical impressionism toward softer, almost rococo-styled forms, especially in his later period. Through Feist’s analysis, Renoir is presented not only as a painter of pleasure and beauty, but also as an artist who constantly explored new expressive possibilities, influencing future generations of painters.
