Episode Information

Renoir and Monet are largely responsible for the advent of modern art and the development of the greatest art movement of the nineteenth century Impressionism. David visits Renoir's home, garden and studio at Les Colettes in the ancient hill town of Cagnes Sur Mer, and explores Renoir's enduring contribution to art. Our host sets his easel precisely where Renoir set his - in the ancient olive grove overlooking the Mediterranean - and demonstrates the master's methods, describing his effects and explaining his thoughts.
