| “The Letter” - Pierre-Auguste Renoir |
In 1892, Pierre-Auguste Renoir visited Prado Museum in Madrid seeking inspiration. Now, over a century later, 31 of his paintings made it to El Prado Museum in "A Passion for Renoir" exhibition, including the French master's "Self-Portrait," (1875), "Madame Monet with Her Son" (1874), "The Theatre Box" (1880), "Blonde Bather" (1881) and "The Bridge at Chatou" (1875). Some of these paintings inspired major 20th-century painters such as Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse.
The popular Impressionist devoted his life to mastering the form, the light and the color. The paintings lent from the Clark Art Institute (Williamstown, Massachusetts), the American museum that possesses one of the most important holdings of Renoir’s works are an itinerary of the genres in which he worked: the feminine sensuality, the nude, portraiture, landscape, still life and flowers. This is the first monographic exhibition devoted to Renoir in Spain and it opened on the 19th of October and will close on the 6th of February 2011.
