- Title
Painting and sculpturing with "broken" hands: the victory of Renoir.
- Authors
Tonelli, Francesco
- Abstract
The article features French painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir who developed rheumatoid arthritis when he was around 50 years old. His disease typically started in the small joints of his hands and feet and after some years became very aggressive causing deformity, loss of function and ankylosing of the wrist, interphalangeal joints and metacarpophalangeal joints. But despite his disease, Renoir spent his life painting.
