3 works across 1 institution
Berlin's Alte Nationalgalerie holds 3 works by Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841–1919) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Renoir's paintings are among the most reproduced in the world, which makes seeing an original almost startling — the surface is far more spontaneous and fluid than any reproduction suggests, full of bravura passages of paint. His celebrations of pleasure and leisure retain a genuine warmth in person.
