Pierre-Auguste Renoir was a French painter who painted about 6000 pictures during the 60 years he worked as an artist. When he was 4 years old his family moved to Paris where he lived in an apartment in the Louvre which was then a royal palace, but now is a great art museum.
Renoir began as a singer but decided to be a painter when he was 13.
Later he met Edgar Degas and Edouard Manet and became one of the first 'Impressionists'. His work was light and lively showing scenes of daily Paris life with people socialising and enjoying life.
