I appreciate the close ups of his feathery brushstrokes as well as the grand scale compositions. Thank you very much.

The reason for all this change to "Impressionism" and what follows, are the direct result of the invention of photo cameras. They could capture the reality better than any painter. But not the "impression" and "feel" of them. So the painters, not wanting to become unemployed and irrellevant, switched to what cameras could never capture: the feel and impression

Absolutely. This is what my art professor told me in university when I took the first History of Fine Art course. Cameras captured a realistic setting, and these impressionist and post-impressionist painters who were also real innovators took things to the next level.

In part the camera had something to do sure, but also a paradigm shift, look their subjects, completely different than what was being done by academics at the time, different, subjects, compositions, palette, approach (studio vs open air), materials to a degree too...

@@armandogavilan1815 Camaras had only "something to do" with it? Just something! And how do you explain your idea of "the shift" to impressionism in the mind of the artist. if not the market? So, you think the invention of the engine (trains, cars, subways etc), had only "something" to do with the switch from horse-drawn vehicles and carts, eh? All the polemics and bitting around the subject bush you present, can only muddly the issue rather than explaining it.

His paintings mesmerize me in a way, it's something I can't put in words.

Yes, though actually I was never a big fan of him until I saw one of his large works in real life. It truly shimmered and had a life of its own. I was captivated.

Beautiful, timeless!

Just a celebration of life in most of his paintings , simple moments seen from far away by an observant mind !!! just beautiful !!!

WOW!!!! Thank you for the history lesson, ancient pictures, context of the artist´s influences and painting evolution. The images provided help us envision what and how he was inspired. You make us feel as if we were right there and then, along side him. Magnificent effort, way beyond the traditional documentary. Well done.

Another splendid documentary by DW of a genius, amazing colours

Thank you for uploading. I'm not in to Renoir, but I can sure see what he tried to do. He is taking you to a pleasant memory or feeling, a peacefulness to his work. With scenes of freedom, life spend with others, laughing, sharing free time, on the best day of the week. The continuous Sunday feeling. A dreamy pastry. A sweet and gentile, doll house kind of impression. The Barbie Painter of his time.

Interesting and informative but too many advertisements ..ultimately didn't finish because of this

Maravilha!

The British woman narrating pronounced all the French names with such an effort to sound French, then kept saying Watteau with a W sound rather than the V sound that the French use. It sounded a bit silly. In my art history classes at university my professors all said it the French way, 'Vatteau' and we are out in the hinterland of the U.S.

😍

Lovely video. But voice overs ? Why ?

Manafique..oh la la renoir

I love it but why does every impressionist documentary have to play claire de lune in the background hahaha, like there arent a thousand other great french composers. Or come on, even some of Debussy's lesser known works would be great. Hahaha.

Meanwhile Gen Z is gaining lots of Likes on IG for naked photos

Just think about it, about the fact that Renoir was considered "outlandish"! That the status quo thought that that was not how art was supposed to look like! It's just impossible for us to understand that mindset. Impressionism is now regarded as kind of a Conservatives Avant-garde... There's always a status quo that thinks what art is supposed to be. Today is not different. The goal, for all of us, is to understand what is the current status quo ( It's really, really hard to reach such understanding), only then we can be free.

Has anyone noticed he paints the same bearded curly brown headed guy in many paintings in the park? He paints the same straw hat on others but that guy is always in the middle. Who is he? 🎓🪖⚖️🎓⚗️🔬⚡:👍🏻🍀✝️🇺🇲👊🏻

My least liked impressionist, which is not to say he wasn´t great. Always had a problem with his palette. (the colorful one).

Many art lovers, including myself, detest Renoir. They think that his paintings are too pretty and decorative.

Renoir has rightly been called: "The worst great painter of all time."

Renoir ??? 😅😅😅😅

Renwal was my favorite impressionist painter of all time. I even liked his paintings better than Monets. But I do like Monet as well. I’m an impressionist painter and they were my inspiration.❤

He Like or dislike his work but the truth remains hidden that he revolutionized Art by being used/propped up by powerful political artistic forces of the time that used his works and the Impressionists as a basis for money laundering which continues to this day. If one wants to understand this research dealer Paul Durand-Ruel and his private Art Gallery, but one must dig as they have fabricated and white-washed his background.

I hate it when people use the present tense when talking about things that happened in the past. Have we become so lazy that we refuse to use the past, present and future?

AI voiceover is too distracting

What a disgraceful pronunciation of French names. Almost unbearable.

what a boring start, DW is getting shittier, show us the boat, take it down show us, oh almost, put someone in, lots of words showing/telling us nothing, l luv Renoir but this show shows/tells nothing of him
