Pierre-Auguste Renoir, who was born on this day in 1841, was a leading figure in the Impressionist movement. With its daubs of paint and bright colors, “The Grands Boulevards” is a classic example of the style. In this painting, the hustle and bustle of life in Paris is transmitted through Renoir’s visible paint strokes, allowing the viewer to perceive the scene as though it is passing by.
