Selon l'historien d'art Kenneth Clark, l'impressionnisme est né avec Monet et Renoir à la Grenouillère, à Croissy-sur-Seine.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir, commonly known as Auguste Renoir, was a French artist who was a leading painter in the development of the Impressionist style. As a celebrator of beauty and especially feminine sensuality, it has been said that "Renoir is the final representative of a tradition which runs directly from Rubens to Watteau." He was the father of actor Pierre Renoir (1885-1952), filmmaker Jean Renoir (1894-1979) and ceramic artist Claude Renoir (1901-1969). He was the grandfather of the filmmaker Claude Renoir (1913-1993), son of Pierre.
