                                         Renoir.

Pierre Renoir was a famous French artist. His paintings are very popular today because they show colourful, happy scenes, often in bright sunlight. He liked to show the good things in life because he thought there were many bad things around.

 He was born in central France in 1841. His father was a tailor and his mother was a dressmaker. The family was poor. They moved to Paris when Pierre was three. As he grew older he showed a talent for drawing. He started work at the age of thirteen, learning how to decorate plates, cups and dishes.Later he studied at the Paris art school and became an artist.

 Renoir liked to paint outdoor scenes of everyday life, for example, children on the beach or a young woman at the seaside. A hundred years ago, French children did not swim in the sea. They did not have special clothes for the beach and they usually wore hats and gloves, even in summer.

  Renoir loved family life. He often painted pictures of families.Some of his paintings are of his own children. One of his sons, Jean, was also very artistic. He became a world- famous film director.

  Pierre Renoir continued working to the end of his life, even when he became ill. He was seventy- eight when he died in 1919.

 You can see his pictures in museums and art galleries all over the world. Art collectors pay a lot of money for a painting by Renoir. In 2003 his picture of  a woman sitting in her garden was sold for $ 23.5 million.
