The renowned French painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir had a significant impact on the creation of the Impressionist movement. When the judges at the Salon rejected Renoir’s canvases, his artistry was brought to the fore, drawing inspiration from the works of Camille Pissarro and Édouard Manet. He collaborated with Monet, Sisley, Pissarro, and a number of other renowned artists to stage the first Impressionist exhibition in April 1874.
