Using daubs of colorful paint and broad, feathered strokes, Pierre-Auguste Renoir blurred the line between the physical and emotional worlds and cemented his place in history as a great French Impressionist. Now art buffs can explore his landscapes in a single-venue show now through Jan. 6 at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

The 61-piece display (including “The Skiff,” above) is on loan from private and public collections and includes 14 works never shown in the U.S. Tickets to the exhibition, the only scheduled stop in the U.S., are $24, with discounts for seniors, students and youth.
