La belle vie: Impressionism's most joyful paintings

Â
Pierre Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) is now universally acclaimed: museums pride themselves on his paintings, crowds flock to his retrospectives. His work shows art at its most light-hearted, sensual and luminous. Renoir never wanted anything ugly in his paintings, nor any dramatic action. "I like pictures which make me want to wander through them when itâ‚¬s a landscape," he said, "or pass my hand over breast or back if itâ‚¬s a woman."

Renoirâ‚¬s entire oeuvre is dominated by the depiction of women. Again and again he painted "these faunesses with their pouting lips" (MallarmÂ©) and invented a new image of feminity.
