St Petersburg's Hermitage Museum holds 19 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.

Planning your visit to St Petersburg
The Hermitage occupies six buildings — plan a full day and accept you will see only a fraction. The museum is on the Neva embankment (metro: Admiralteyskaya or Nevsky Prospekt). Audio guides are strongly recommended; the scale of the collection is overwhelming without orientation.
