Renoir
was born the son of a tailor on February 25, 1841 in Limoges,
France. Early in life he moved to Paris with his family.
At age 14, he became an apprentice as a porcelain painter.
He became so adept at this he might have spent the rest
of days doing this type of work, but fortunately the firm
went bankrupt in 1858.
Although he dabbled in several different jobs, but it
seemed his earliest job convinced him to attempt to become
a full time painter. Renoir began copying famous paintings
in the Lourve. At this time he began attending the studio
of Marc-Gabriel-Charles Gleyer, a Swiss teacher who offered
practical instruction to a number of artists. Along with
this he began attending the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. All
of these events shaped his future.
