"Renoir. La maturità tra classico e moderno"

The city of Limoges gave birth to one of the greatest Impressionist artists, Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
The artist was a huge fan of music and profoundly smitten with female sensuality - female nudes were among his favourite subjects.
His first significant experiences in the field of painting were had together with other talented artists Monet and Sisley, with whom he painted outdoors under the sky of Fointainebleau.
Approximately 150 creations on loan from Italian and international museums go on show and explore Renoir's human and artistic journey.
These works are suffused with sun, light and colour; they are snapshots of tender moments.
