Georges Riviere, a student of Renoir's, tried to describe Renoir's complete infatuation with his future wife Aline Charigot, and said,
"There were times when he would put down his palette and gaze at her instead of painting, asking himself why he tried, since what he was trying to achieve was there already."

Lovely post! Renoir was so charming.
Yes, lovely. Coincidentally, I rewatched La Règle du Jeu by their son this weekend. What a talented family. xo
