Influences - Raphael
Renoir went to Italy and saw Raphaels work. He wasn’t happy with his own style anymore. He changed his approach to painting making it more formal and solid. More about drawing!

Influences - monet / plein air
Renoir lived near Monet. The two artists painted outdoors together whenever they could afford paint.This was crucial to the development of “Plein Air”

Renoir – “The Impressionist”
Renoir was very involved in “The Impressionist” movement from it’s earliest days and was one of it’s chief organisers of the 1874 exhibition.

Break with The Impressionists
He continued to be involved with the 2nd and 3rd shows, but he was the first of The Impressionists to return to painting for the “Salon”,and also the first to break with the new technique!

Renoirs technique - painting
Renoir had great confidence in his use of colour. With short, soft strokes and delicate grades of colour, he produced gentle,vague contours so that everything blended – even “blurred”!
How did he paint?
Short, soft, brush strokes!

Composition
This is a very crowded composition, it adds to the atmosphere of people having fun.
It depicts a typical Sunday afternoon at Moulin de la Galette in the district of Montmartre in Paris. In the late 19th century, working class Parisians would dress up and spend time here dancing, drinking, and eating galettes into the evening.

The painting shows perspective with a blurry background, the seperation between the background and the crowds dancing form a natural horizontal line.

Study of light
The light shines through the leaves of the trees and dances over the ground and the figures in countless little patches ofglimmering colour.The people as well as the ground seem tovibrate in the play of light between the Dark and light patches

Change in technique
During the early 1880’s after visiting italy, Renoir felt he knew nothing about drawing and painting.He changed his approach,resulting in paintings that became more stiff and hard edged.He overcame this problem and his work developed a new firmness in his forms.

Composition
Young woman on the left of the painting draws your attention.
Her simple dress tells us she’s from a working class background.
Since working class women were often the objects of male attention,the picture is designed to prompt the viewer into imagining himself making an advance to the girl.

Study of light
Whilst there is a stronger sense of drawing in this painting, Renoir still explores light.this can be seen in detail on the ladys clothes as the drapery folds.

Technique
This painting is an example of when renoirs technique changed. We can see more evidence of drawing – sharp,clearer outlines
However, renoirs previous style of painting is still evident on the little girls body and face (soft, feathery style
This painting clearly marks the transitionbetween one style and another
