The Renoir Sky print is custom made from pieces of  Pierre Auguste Renoir's classic paintings. Renoir's career was launched alongside Monet, Sisley, and Bazille in the first-ever Impressionist exhibition. After a series of rejections by the conservative Salon de Paris, Renoir and a group of like-minded artists (including Claude Monet, Edouard Manet, Edgar Degas, Paul Cezanne and Camille Pissarro) formed the Anonymous Society of Painters, Sculptors and Engravers, later known as the Impressionists. The group mounted their first exhibition in 1874, at which Renoir showed six paintings. He continued to exhibit with the Impressionists at their second and third exhibitions but, thereafter, returned to submitting works to the Salon. By this time a successful and in-demand painter, Renoir expressed skepticism about the durability of the Impressionist aesthetic.

In the summer of 1869, Renoir visited Monet at La Grenouillère, a popular resort on the Seine River. The two artists painted side by side en plein air, depicting scenes from virtually identical vantage points. While both artists were concerned with capturing the fleeting effects of light reflecting on rippling water, the two images offer a distinct contrast in style, with Renoir’s lushly sensual rendering more focused on depicting the scene’s inhabitants.
