Like hardly any other artist, Pierre-Auguste Renoir has shaped our
understanding of the atmospheric figure paintings of Impressionism.
His painting La fin du dejeuner, which has been in the Stadel
Museum in Frankfurt since 1910, is now the starting point for a
far-reaching examination of an important source of inspiration that
accompanied him throughout his life: the Rococo. Considered
frivolous and immoral after the French Revolution, this style of
painting experienced a renaissance in the 19th century and was
widely celebrated during Renoir's lifetime. Published on the
occasion of the Stadel Museum's major exhibition, this
comprehensive volume explores Renoir's multifaceted connection to
tradition through illuminating juxtapositions of his art with
18th-century works and contemporaries.
