This mid-20th century French publication dedicated to the famous painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir, combining biography, archival material and high-quality reproductions of his works. What makes this piece particularly interesting is its limited edition: printed in June 1964 in 10,000 numbered copies, this example is numbered 6341.
The book alternates text, handwritten letters, photographs and full-page colour plates, offering a layered immersion into Renoir’s world, from his personal life to his artistic legacy. The cover itself, with its monochrome illustration, already sets the tone: soft, intimate, almost sketch-like, echoing the sensitivity of the painter.
A beautiful object to display as much as to leaf through. Whether open on a console or closed on a stack, it brings an immediate sense of softness and artistic presence into a space.
