Pierre-Auguste Renoir was born in Limoges, France, and is known for being one of the leading figures of French Impressionism. He moved to Paris at a young age, where he revealed remarkable drawing abilities. Renoir got immerse in the decorative arts industry, where he hand-painted china, fans and signs, always inspired in the 18th century French Rococo masters.
