Pierre-Auguste Renoir has greatly shaped our understanding of the atmospheric figures of Impressionism Art. His painting La fin du déjeuner, which has been at the Städel Museum in Frankfurt since 1910, serves as a starting point for an extensive examination of a significant source of inspiration that accompanied him throughout his life: Rococo. Considered frivolous and immoral after the French Revolution, this painting style experienced a revival in the 19th century and was widely celebrated during Renoir's lifetime. This thorough edition, published on the occasion of the major exhibition at the Städel Museum, explores Renoir's multifaceted relationship with tradition through illuminated comparisons of his art with works from the 18th century and his contemporaries.
