April 2024 marks the 150th anniversary of the very first Impressionist exhibition that was organized by Pierre-Auguste Renoir and his close friend Claude Monet along with Edgar Degas, Paul Cezanne, and other artists.

Cagnes: Renoir’s health was compromised as, over time, he became increasingly disabled by rheumatoid arthritis. The artist was intolerant of the cold wet weather in Paris, and the family began to spend the winter months living in various rental properties in small towns in the south of France. Later, they rented an apartment in Nice. Meanwhile, in June 1907, Renoir and Aline bought a property called Les Collettes at Cagnes-sur-Mer, becoming the owners of a dilapidated nineteenth-century farmhouse on sloping ground among ancient olive trees, which was set high above the Mediterranean and offered a beautiful view of the neighboring medieval old town. The modest house, pictured here, was not suited to the needs of a painter who was wealthy and unwell, and had a wife and three children, a household staff, and a constant stre
