Born in Limoges, France, on February 25, 1841, Pierre-Auguste Renoir came from a working-class family. At age four, they moved to Paris, where he discovered his artistic talent painting porcelain in a factory. Although financial struggles limited formal education, he honed his skills through this work. Renoir enrolled in the prestigious École des Beaux-Arts in 1862, meeting future Impressionist artists like Claude Monet. He learned traditional techniques but grew increasingly dissatisfied, seeking a fresher approach to art. The bustling Parisian art scene and frequent visits to the Louvre deeply influenced his early aspirations as a painter.
