Realistic acrylic painting of theFrench Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir (Limoges, 25 February 1841 - Cagnes-sur-Mer, 3 December 1919), painted by the Dutch fine artist Paul Meijering - the original painting in 90 x 120 cm and part of a permanent collection.
His father, a tailor with a large family, settled in Paris in 1845. His mother was a seamstress by profession. As early as the age of 12, Renoir worked as an apprentice painter.
In 1862, he joined Charles Gleyre's Atelier Gleyre and became acquainted with Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley and Frédéric Bazille, later also meeting Camille Pissarro and Paul Cézanne. He exhibited for the first time at the Paris Salon in 1864; thereafter, the jury refused his work until his Lise was accepted in 1867, a portrait of his model and lover Lise Tréhot.
In 1867, Renoir and Monet were living with Bazille.
Renoir experienced recognition earlier than his friends.
In 1880, he met Aline Charigot, whom he married in 1890. They had three sons: Pierre, Jean, who later became a famous film director, and Claude. Eight years prior to his marriage, he had fathered a daughter out of wedlock with Lise Tréhot. His children only learned after Renoir's death that they had another half-sister.
In 1888, Renoir suffered his first attack of rheumatoid arthritis, which paralysed his fingers. Despite the pain, he worked on, with a brush tied to his wrist.
Renoir produced 4019 paintings, 105 watercolours and 530 drawings, 148 of which were pastels.
Renoir was buried in Essoyes, next to Aline. His youngest two sons were also buried there after their deaths. His last residence in Cagnes-sur-Mer in southern France, near Nice, is now the Musée Renoir and can be visited. The house stands in a large garden with olive trees.
For almost 33 years now, Paul Meijering has been active with the paint brushes. As a 17- year old inspired youngster he joined the Academy of Arts in Enschede (Holland) in order to receive a native training in drawing- and painting technique.
At that time (1980) the tendency of the abstract was running riot, and to his dismay and disappointment Paul found that the trade of the ancient masters was merely 'old hat', the realistic art being disregarded and looked down upon. After two years of useless botchery, there was only one conclusion to draw: 'get autodidact, be a self-taught person!' Paul then left the academy to work for a living, but at the back of his mind there always loomed the passion of his life: to paint. At his spare time he painted and his efforts are characteristic as far as man plays an important role are concerned, or to put it in his own words: 'Each human being tinkers at his own existence, it is the source of inspiration to explain the non-verbal by way of painting'.
The paintings attracted attention at various exhibitions and he was frequently approached by trades-people, hotel-keepers, merchants. These customers were for the most part interested in large wall-paintings and decorations. In the year 2000 the painter develops a speciality that's quite unique: he applies himself to paint football pictures. After a year he gets the chance to realize an open exhibition for an indefinite time as well with the Dutch Fo
