February 25 is the birthday of the famous painter Pierre Auguste Renoir. If we consider his works not from the point of view of artistic value, but from the point of view of beauty, then we can learn a lot of interesting things.

Renoir was one of those few lucky artists who achieved fame and fortune during his lifetime. Renoir painted portraits in a lively and slightly sentimental manner. And people liked them. Even more so! With clean, radiant, porcelain skin, with a dreamy look, with an enlightened face. It's as if a person is not being observed by an artist, but by a lover — and sees them through a special prism.

The faces of the women in his paintings are often delicate and soft, like a white and pink marshmallow. Their skin glows from within and you want to touch it.

It's hard to resist banal comparisons, but the women's (and often children's) faces in the artist's paintings are often similar to Austin roses – just as softly colored, perfect in their beauty.

Correct facial features, well-defined soft eyebrows. Perfection, not women.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Blond Bather, Renoir, 1881. Paris, Orangerie
For the painting “Blonde Bather”, which became one of Renoir's most famous works, Aline Charigot posed, who later became the artist's wife and bore him three children. It is obvious that he loved to paint curvaceous forms – and admired the beauty of the female body. This fascination is traced in many of his works.

The hair of Renoir's women is always slightly curly and creates a soft halo around the face. No smooth, strict hairstyles, only tenderness and romance.
