La Danse à la Ville (Detail), 1883

Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1849 -1919) was a leading Impressionist painter. The details of his scenes are suggested through free and feathery brushstrokes that softly fuse into one another and their surroundings. Renoir's paintings are characterised by their vibrant light and deft use of saturated colours. Our collection brings together the best of his much-loved work.
