17 works across 2 institutions
London holds 17 works by Pierre-Auguste Renoir across 2 institutions, including Courtauld Gallery and National Gallery.
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.
