Pierre-Auguste Renoir, commonly known as Auguste Renoir (or; 25 February 1841 – 3 December 1919), was a French artist who was a leading painter in the development of the Impressionist style.

As a celebrator of beauty and especially feminine sensuality, it has been said that "Renoir is the final representative of a tradition which runs directly from Rubens to Watteau.".

Oscar-Claude Monet (14 November 1840 – 5 December 1926) was a founder of French Impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plein-air landscape painting.

The term "Impressionism" is derived from the title of his painting Impression, soleil levant (Impression, Sunrise), which was exhibited in 1874 in the first of the independent exhibitions mounted by Monet and his associates as an alternative to the Salon de Paris.

Vincent Willem van Gogh (30 March 185329 July 1890) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art.

In just over a decade he created about 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of them in the last two years of his life in France, where he died.

They include landscapes, still lifes, portraits and self-portraits, and are characterised by bold colours and dramatic, impulsive and expressive brushwork that contributed to the foundations of modern art.

His suicide at 37 followed years of mental illness and poverty.

Oil painting is the process of painting with pigments with a medium of drying oil as the binder.

Commonly used drying oils include linseed oil, poppy seed oil, walnut oil, and safflower oil.

The choice of oil imparts a range of properties to the oil paint, such as the amount of yellowing or drying time.

Certain differences, depending on the oil, are also visible in the sheen of the paints.

An artist might use several different oils in the same painting depending on specific pigments and effects desired.

The paints themselves also develop a particular consistency depending on the medium.

The oil may be boiled with a resin, such as pine resin or frankincense, to create a varnish prized for its body and gloss.
