Beauty in the movies...

5:46 p.m.

The movie Renoir, by director Gilles Bourdos, will open this week in Buenos Aires and it tells the story of the famous artist's final days. The leading actress plays Andrèe Madeleine Hessling, a model who poses for the artist but who will then become the wife of Renoir's son and, later on, an actress. 
Her porcelain skin and red hair are very similar to a portrait done by Renoir, belonging to MNBA's collection.

Sadly we don't know the exact year this painting was done, so we can not know for sure that the model was Andrèe Hessling... However, thanks to the magic of cinema, we can pretend it is her...
