Art Review - Artist in Retreat - ‘Late Renoir’ in Philadelphia - NYTimes.com

Art Review - Artist in Retreat - ‘Late Renoir’ in Philadelphia - NYTimes.com: "Timing was a factor in this shift. By the mid-1880s he was starting a family. He was also traveling and catching up on art history. Raphael in Rome knocked him flat, as did Velázquez in Spain. Back home at the Louvre he re-experienced the Baroque of Poussin and Rubens. Greek sculpture hit like a depth charge."
