Renoir: Rococo Revival
Auteur(s) : Collectif
Exhibition at the Städel Museum, Frankfurt am Main, 2 March - 19 June 2022
Pierre-Auguste Renoir's painting After the Luncheon, which has been in the Städel Museum in Frankfurt since 1910, is the starting point for a far-reaching examination of an important source of inspiration that accompanied him throughout his life: the Rococo. Considered frivolous and immoral after the French Revolution, this style of painting experienced a renaissance in the 19th century and was widely celebrated during Renoir's lifetime.
This exhibition catalogue explores Renoir's multifaceted connection to tradition through juxtapositions of his art with 18th-century works and contemporaries.
