Listen to fact0:00 / —

In February 1880, Pierre-Auguste Renoir fell from a bicycle and broke his right, dominant arm. He was then working on *Luncheon of the Boating Party*. Renoir continued painting with his left hand: in a letter to André Albert, he wrote that he enjoyed using it and thought the result was even better. That was his own assessment, but the letter and a biographer’s account confirm that he did not stop working because of the injury.
