Renoir Landscapes
Philadelphia Museum of ArtOctober 4, 2007 – January 6, 2008 Celebrated for his portraits and nudes, Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841–1919) is most often associated with figure painting. He was also a lover of nature, however, and an accomplished painter of landscapes. The exhibition Renoir Landscapes explores the inventiveness and importance of these landscapes during the first decades of Renoir’s career. Remarkable in their freshness and immediacy, these works of art reveal nature as a deep source of inspiration and demonstrate the artist’s fascination with the effects of outdoor light.

This exhibition is made possible by GlaxoSmithKline.

Generous support is also provided by Bank of America.
