Why did Renoir love to paint women and children?

In the Western art world, there are many painters who love to paint women and children, such as Raphael, Giorgione, Titian, Rubens in the Renaissance, Ingres, Bougreau, Degas, Renoir in the 19th century, and so on. In general, there are many realistic paintings of women and children, and most of them advocate aesthetics. If there was one representative of the aesthetic painters among the impressionists, it would have to be Renoir.

Renoir was born in France in 1841 to a family of ordinary workshop workers, and showed a great talent for painting at an early age. Due to his poor family, Renoir did not have the conditions to receive a better education at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, and went to work as a painter in a workshop in his teens. While working in the workshop, he used his free time to copy the works of many masters of the Renaissance and the oil paintings of Raphael, Giorgione, and Titian had a profound influence on him.

During this period, Renoir's painting skills matured and laid a solid foundation for realist painting.

Renoir, who had a dream of painting since he was a child, wanted to become a professional painter, and was unwilling to continue to be a painter. In 1860, at the age of 19, he came to Paris, then known as the center of European art, seeking to expand his painting. In Paris, Renoir became acquainted with Monet, Manet and other pioneer figures of Impressionism.

At that time, Monet and others were committed to the exploration and practice of impressionist oil painting, which made Renoir refreshing and eye-opening. Under the influence of Monet and others, Renoir began to turn to the creative practice of impressionist painting.

Because impressionist oil painting was just emerging, Renoir's artistic path was not smooth at the beginning, his paintings could not be sold, and his life was poor.

After a long period of creative practice and speculation on the art market, Renoir has developed a unique set of expressions, that is, to integrate the figurative images of realism and the colors of impressionism, so that the figures of impressionist oil paintings that people see are no longer so hazy and have the characteristics of realistic oil paintings, but in terms of color, they have the saturation, richness and brightness of impressionist colors, which can be said to be unique in impressionist oil paintings.

The integration of realistic characteristics into impression oil painting is obviously more suitable for painting people, especially women and children. Because women and children are more beautiful to draw, more people will like them, and the paintings will be better shot. When Renoir got a taste of the sweetness, he began to devote himself to depicting women and children with his brush, creating a large number of fascinating and beautiful works.

The Ball at the Moulin Rouge and Luncheon on a Boat made Renoir famous, and also established Renoir's position as one of the important representatives of Renoir's impressionist oil paintings. As his fame grew, Renoir's life gradually improved. The advent of the "Bath Girl" series has also become a sign that Renoir's creation has entered its peak.

Renoir's women show the plumpness, handsomeness, coquettishness, festivity, charm and gentleness of women, showing the beauty of another demeanor that is different from traditional realistic oil paintings, and is a kind of beauty that is appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar. As far as I know, many people don't like impression paintings, but Renoir's paintings are an exception.

Experienced. Renoir grew up living with women and children, so he liked to draw both figures.

Pierre Auguste may not be the most prominent of the 19th-century French Impressionists, but he was perhaps one of the most popular because of the many beautiful flowers, cute children and lively celebrations in his paintings, which are all delightful subjects.

Renoir. Among Renoir's many paintings, it is particularly worth mentioning that he is good at using the plump and firm female body as the creative material, and painting the beauty of the female body directly on the canvas. Therefore, Renoir's style also shows distinctive characteristics of beauty and sophistication, which is unique in the European Impressionist scene of the 19th century.

It is said that at the height of Renoir's creative energy, many of his close friends spoke of the obvious feminine compliments in Renoir's work. Renoir openly said, "If I hadn't created women, maybe I wouldn't have become a painter." "It can be seen that Renoir's love for women and the subject matter of their creation almost reached the point of obsession.

Renoir's work.

Renoir's works from this period were mainly depicted in the image of young women. The fair-skinned **, plump figure, and beautiful face of the women in the picture are all fascinating, and the nuanced descriptions are vivid and vibrant.

In 1881, Renoir went to Italy. On his way to the show, he had the privilege of admiring the works of the European Renaissance masters and the frescoes of Pompeii.

In front of the great work of art, Renoir was deeply moved and shocked. At the same time, he realized that the eternal beauty of art is not just a momentary occasion, but should be a creative detail that has been accumulated. Since then, Renoir's style has also changed, and his later style is known as neoclassicism.

Because he is good at using the plump and strong female body as the creative material, the beauty of the woman's body is directly depicted on the canvas, and Renoir's style also shows distinctive gorgeous and delicate characteristics, which is unique in the European Impressionist painting of the 19th century.

This is his strength and his hallmark, he has studied this area, and his painting skills have gradually deepened over time.

I think this is just a kind of art, art can't be mixed with other colors, I can only say that he is more proficient in this aspect of painting.

Because in the long-term creation, Renoir gradually formed his own unique painting style through exploration and practice. His works are often painted in bright colors, focusing on lively celebrations, delicate and plump cute images of women and children, and bright natural scenery.
