Pierre-Auguste Renoir, commonly known as Auguste Renoir (French: [pjɛʁ oɡyst ʁənwaʁ]; 25 February 1841 – 3 December 1919), was a French artist who was a leading painter in the development of the Impressionist style. As a celebrator of beauty, and especially feminine sensuality, it has been said that "Renoir is the final representative of a tradition which runs directly from Rubens to Watteau." 皮耶尔·奥古斯特·雷诺阿(Pierre-Auguste Renoir, 1841-1919),法国印象画派的著名画家、雕刻家。最初与印象画派运动联系密切。他的早期作品是典型的记录真实生活的印象派作品,充满了夺目的光彩。然而到了19世纪80年代中期,他从印象派运动中分裂出来,转向在人像画及肖像画,特别是妇女肖像画中去发挥自己更加严谨和正规的绘画技法。
