Did You Know?

Born to a wealthy family in Montpellier, France, Bazille came to Paris to study medicine and provided crucial financial support to his friends Claude Monet and Pierre-August Renoir.

Description

Frédéric Bazille painted this charming, poignant portrait of his close friend and fellow Impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir at a time when he was sharing his studio with Renoir and Claude Monet. Although Bazille played an important role in the early development of Impressionism, he is not as well-known as his colleagues due to his early death at age 28 while serving in the French army during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870.
