Monet Limoges

Auguste Renoir or Pierre-Auguste Renoir, one of the central figures of Impressionist movement, was born on February 25, 1841, in a working class family in Limoges, France. Accredited by critics as one of the most popular & independent painters of his time, his paintings are often reproduced and appreciated for the warm sensuality of his style. This prolific French painter characterized his works with the harmony of lines, brilliance of colors, and his intimate charm of a wide variety of subjects.

Renowned for his radiant and intimate paintings (especially those of nude females), Renoir excelled in the history of modern art for the representation of feminine grace. The nude female was one of his key painting subjects. Being an Impressionist painter, he highlighted his painting scenes with the help of the diffused brushing of colors on the canvass. This resulted in a blending appearance of his figures with each other and with their background.

As an adolescent, Auguste began painting flowers on Fine China at a Porcelain factory, graduating later to fans and screens. He undertook formal training in painting from the Academy of the Swiss Charles Gabriel Gleyre in Paris, in the year 1862. Here, Renoir met several acclaimed French artists of the likes of Claude Monet and Eugene Delacroix. These artists highly Influenced Auguste Renoir’s early works, as they were emphatically bright & colored. The flow of Edgar Degas’ paintings also impressed Renoir. Then, Courbet’s Realism reflects in Auguste’s early paintings such as, “Diana,” (1867), in which the figures are modelled & superimposed well, upon a false landscape. As he matured, his works went on getting more and more Impressionist with the canvassing of real life, full of sparkling hues and light. His intensely disciplined and formal technique of portraits and figure paintings made him stand out amongst his Impressionist contemporaries.

One of the best-known Impressionist works of Renoir is “Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette” (Le Bal au Moulin de la Galette) (1876). It pictures a popular dance garden on the Butte Montmartre, crowed with people. Some of his other major works include, “The Large Bathers,” “La Grenouillere,” “By the Water,” “The Country Dance,” “Nude in the Sun,” and “Diana the Huntress.”

By 1864, Auguste was exhibiting his work at Paris Salon. Recognition came his way only in 1874; post Franco-Prussian War, at the first exhibition of the New Impressionist School. Later on, he held a solo exhibition at Durand-Ruel Gallery in Paris in 1883. In 1890, Auguste Renoir married Aline Victorine Charigot. He had three sons from Aline. The last 20 years of his life was crippled by severe Rheumatic Arthritis (in 1892), as he could not move his hands freely. However, Auguste’s passion for painting continued and he strapped a brush to his arms, in order to paint. At the age of 78, on December 03, 1919, Auguste Renoir died in his house at Cagne.

Limoges Bells

You have just gotten engaged, and wedding bells can now be almost heard in the background. As you begin your wedding preparations, one of the details you have to attend to is choosing a wedding ring. Many couples tend to overlook this matter early on and decide on it much later. However, they realize that this is not a fairly easy thing to decide on, and how they wish they could have more time to think about it. Indeed, there are many things to consider — the design, the style, the material, and so on.

Traditionally, wedding rings are made of gold. However, modern wedding rings now come in white gold, platinum, or silver. Many couples, in fact, prefer silver wedding rings for their weddings to the usual gold ones.

Remember that you will be wearing your wedding ring for as long as you stay married to that particular person, and that can mean, “for the rest of your life”, so you have to choose carefully the design and the material that you want for your wedding ring set.
