VARGAS CASELLES, Alfredo L.  and  FERNANDEZ AVILA, Diana C.. Renoir and rheumatoid arthritis. Rev. argent. reumatolg. [online]. 2018, vol.29, n.2, pp.61-63. ISSN 0327-4411.

Renoir is one of the most representative painters of the impressionist movement. His extensive artistic production centered on the human figure shows his ability with the brush that was not limited by the development of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) that afflicted him. In this historical review, we inspect aspects of Renoir's life related to the natural history of the disease and its strategies to mitigate pain and functional limitation, which allowed him to continue producing important works of art.

Keywords : Pierre Auguste Renoir; Impressionism; rheumatoid arthritis.
