Renoir"s paintings are charming and accessible yet often boldly experimental, with loose brushstrokes and unexpected compositional arrangements. Throughout his career Renoir looked to the past for inspiration and was influenced especially by eighteenth-century French painters and the artists of the Italian Renaissance. The twelve works in this small calendar attest to Renoir"s enormous skill in capturing still lifes and seemingly ordinary scenes with extraordinary freshness and vitality.
