"Beloved Impressionist, influential master or self-indulgent fantasist? You decide."10 December 2016Factual90 mins
Pierre-Auguste Renoir is known and loved for his impressionist paintings of Paris. These paintings count among the world’s favourites. Renoir, however, grew tired of this style and changed course.
