Pierre-Auguste Renoir Paintings in Museums and Galleries Worldwide
Musee d'Orsay - Paris, France
Musee d'Orsay, art museum in Paris, France. The collection includes thousands of paintings, sculptures, photographs, and other works of art created between 1848 and 1914.
The collection is arranged in three main galleries. Early works, displayed on the ground floor, range from the French neoclassical by painter Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres through early impressionism and the Barbizon School. Special attractions include La Source, by Ingres, and Arrangement in Black and Grey No. 1: The Artist's Mother, popularly known as Whistler's Mother, by the American painter James Abbott McNeill Whistler.
Naturalism, art nouveau, and the symbolist movement are represented on the middle level, including a large permanent display of art nouveau furniture and objets d'art.
The upper level contains later impressionist and postimpressionist works, featuring works by artists such as Camille Jacob Pissarro, Paul Gauguin, Paul Cezanne, Georges Seurat, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. Famous paintings of this period are displayed here, including the controversial Le Dejeuner sur l'herbe by Edouard Manet, Le Moulin de la Gallette by Pierre Auguste Renoir, Racing at Longchamps by Edgar Degas, and Self-Portrait by Vincent Van Gogh.
Opened in 1896, the Musee d'Orsay is housed in a historical turn-of-the-century train station that was extensively remodeled during the early 1980s.
