Impressionism, a historical reconstruction:
Auguste Renoir
(1841-1919)
at the 7th impressionist exposition in 1882
An impression of his paintings
Which pictures did Renoir exhibit in 1882?
On this page you will find an accounted impression of the 25+4hc=29 paintings that were shown by Auguste Renoir at the 7th ‘impressionist’ exposition in 1882 (catalogue numbers 137-161+hc4). Renoir showed his famous work ‘Un déjeuner à Bougival’, many portraits and, other than earlier years, many landscapes, in which he used bright colours, juxtaposed brushstrokes and blue/purple shades. I will render them by format and thematicaly. 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!

Sources:
Note: probably Renoir exhibited 4 paintings outside the catalogue (=hc). Sometimes I render several options. See link for an account of my choices (with references, info, discussion, location on Google-maps). My main sources are Moffett (=R2), Berson (R90II), Dony (R30) and Raeburn (R31). Often the indentification of a painting is ‘uncertain’. Sometimes to ‘compare’ another picture is given that is (probably) similar to the painting that was exhibited. For explanation of the subscriptions, see here . My main sources for the pictures are the-athenaeum.org (=iR2), WikiCommons (=iR6) and Google images (=iR10). Sometimes I forgot the source (=iRx). For references to the additional sources (=aR) see at the bottom of the main page about Auguste Renoir .
