Renoir and Love (1865-1885)

Pierre-Auguste Renoir revolutionized the painting of modern life through his fluid brushwork and luminous palette. For the first time since 1985, the Musée d’Orsay gathers the world’s masterpieces by the artist, focusing on his most creative years between 1865 and 1885. This exceptional retrospective illustrates the complicity of gazes and the effervescence of encounters in the cafes, theaters, and sun-drenched gardens of the 19th century. The journey celebrates a radiant modernity where every canvas vibrates with a singular tenderness. This event, scheduled from March 17 to July 19, 2026, offers a rare opportunity to admire major works often scattered around the globe. Your admission also includes the museum’s permanent collections, allowing a complete journey through the history of Impressionist art.
