In the life of Pierre-Auguste Renoir

The whole life
  1. 1883–1890

    The "Ingres" period

    Impressed by the classics of the Italian Renaissance and by Ingres, Renoir effectively broke with Impressionism: his lines became crisp, his colors more restrained and cooler. The artist himself called this period "sour"; it includes "Dance in the Country," "Dance in the City" and "Dance at Bougival."

  2. 1890

    Marriage to Aline Charigot

    Renoir married Aline Charigot, whom he had met ten years earlier. After the wedding he painted many scenes of family life with the children and their nanny Gabrielle Renard.

  3. 14 April 1890

    Married: Aline Charigot

  4. 1892

    Success at Durand-Ruel's

    An exhibition of Renoir's work at Durand-Ruel's gallery was a great success. Recognition also came from the state: "Young Girls at the Piano" was acquired for the Musée du Luxembourg.

  5. 1894

    Birth of his son Jean

    Renoir's second son Jean was born — the future celebrated film director and writer.

  6. 15 September 1894

    Son born: Jean Renoir
