Richard Wagner was a German composer, conductor, theatre director and essayist, who was primarily known for his operas. This intriguing portrait is based on a sketch Renoir completed in twenty-five minutes when he met Wagner in 1882. The meeting obviously had an impression on Renoir, and this work captures a sense of urgency and speed, which in turn allows Wagner to be depicted in both a physical and mental likeness. |

| Descripción Histórica: | |
Closely related to the 1882 portrait of Richard Wagner, held in the collection of the Musée d'Orsay, this lithograph exhibits a strong impressionistic and gestural quality. The artist's manipulation of the plate captures a sense of urgency and speed, allowing Renoir to depict not only the physical but mental likeness of the famous composer. With this work, the artist captures a sense of the momentary urgency that must have been present during the short encounter that inspired this work. Created circa 1900, this work belongs to a body of images that were inspired by a brief encounter Renoir had with Richard Wagner in Palermo, January 1882. During this meeting Renoir sketched Wagner for a brief twenty five minutes; nonetheless, the session resulted in two painted works and this lithograph. Printed by Auguste Clot on Japan paper, this work was published by Ambroise Vollard and is from an edition of 100. Illustrated in: About the Framing: | |

Pierre-Auguste Renoir biografía
Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841 - 1919)
French painter born in Limoges, died in Cagnes. He was the son of a tailor. In 1845 his family moved to Paris. Between 1856 and 1859 he took an apprenticeship and then worked as a porcelain painter, also taking evening classes in drawing. Renoir then studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris. He was a fellow student of Monet, Sisley and Bazille; he went on summer painting trips with them to Chailly and Fountainbleau. He studied the eighteenth century paintings in the Louvre and also met Corot, Millet and Diaz. In 1864 his work was first accepted at the Salon. During the 1870s he painted with Monet at Argenteuil and elsewhere, and came to know Cezanne, Degas, and Pissarro. In 1874 his work was included in the first Impressionist exhibition (and in three of the subsequent seven.) He had little public success but was patronized by Caillebotte, Chocquet and others. From the late 1870s on he enjoyed increased success at the Salons, especially with portraiture. Eventually, he became dissatisfied with Impressionism and felt renewed admiration for Ingres, Raphael and eighteenth-century art. During the 1880s he worked increasingly in the south of France. Renoir's early work as a porcelain painter reflects two constant characteristics of his art: an enormous natural facility and a dedication to eighteenth century standards of decoration and craftsmanship. Apart from the personality of his brushwork, the main distinction of his 1870s Impressionism was his preoccupation with the figure as subject matter and particularly with the gay vitality of Parisian life. Less rigorously introspective than Monet, he made his reputation at the Salons from the late 1870s with a series of fashionable portraits. Here his dexterity was combined with anecdotal charm. many of the sculptures he made at the end of his life are direct transpositions of painted motifs. These were largely made by an assistant (a pupil of Maillol), Renoir's own hands being almost crippled with arthritis. ¹
