Impressionism, a historical reconstruction:
Auguste Renoir
(1841-1919)
at the 2nd impressionist exposition in 1876
An impression of his paintings
Which pictures did Renoir exhibit in 1876?
On this page you will find an accounted impression of the 18+1hc=19 pictures that were shown by Auguste Renoir at the 2nd ‘impressionist’ exposition in 1876 (catalogue numbers 209-226+hc). I will render them by format and thematicaly. All the pictures are portraits and figure paintings. There are some very beautiful examples of impressionist figure painting! There where the model blends with the background, where Renoir used juxta-posed brushstrokes and where he uses a range of colours in the hair of the model. Note: If you double click on the first (of a cluster of) pictures and then click on full screen, you can create a slideshow. Enjoy!
