Editor's Take:

Pierre-Auguste Renoir painted joy and light. A tailor's son, he started work at 13 painting flowers on porcelain in Paris. He became one of the leading Impressionists, painting outdoors alongside Claude Monet. His Bal du moulin de la Galette captures a sunny Sunday dance in Montmartre. Luncheon of the Boating Party shows his friends relaxing by the river. He loved painting people, especially women and children. In old age arthritis crippled his hands, but he kept painting with brushes strapped to them.
