Learn about the fascinating life of Paris impressionist painter, Pierre August Renoir, as told through the eyes of his (fictitious) young neighbor and studio assistant, Leo. Leo recounts Renoir's later years, when severe arthritis confined him to a wheelchair and Leo would need to mix his paints and strap the paintbrush to Renoir's hand so he could paint. He learns from Renoir's wife that he was self-taught, spending hours at the Louvre Museum in Pairs, studying famous paintings. He shares his admiration for the many paintings displayed in Renoir's home and the artist's friendship with fellow impressionist painter, Claude Monet. Beautiful chronologically arranged reproductions of many of his early, and most famous paintings are featured throughout the book. Content developed for young readers, grades 1-4 (ages 5-8) and is part of the acclaimed Renaissance Accelerated Reader program.
