We speak a lot about the importance of gut health—not only for beauty—but also in terms of our overall health, wellbeing and immunity. But before we can fully understand why the gut is so integral to our health, it’s first essential to learn more about the physiology of the gut itself—and how it works.

Portrait of Pierre Renoir
Signed “L. Valtat” (lower right)
Oil on canvas
This vibrant painting by Louis Valtat depicts the famed Renoir’s eldest son, Pierre Renoir, who would have been 18 years old when he sat for this striking portrait. Known for his bold use of color and energetic brushwork, Valtat captures the youthful vigor and elegant presence of Renoir at a grand scale and with remarkable immediacy.
Louis Valtat and Pierre-Auguste Renoir shared a close friendship beginning in 1897, and the younger Renoir sons were frequent subjects for both artists. This portrait not only demonstrates Valtat’s painterly virtuosity but also offers an intimate glimpse into the world of his esteemed colleague and lifelong friend. The relationship between these two great artists was both personal and professional, and it was Renoir who introduced Valtat to the influential dealer Ambroise Vollard, securing his place among the most important artists in Paris at the turn of the 20th century.
Born in Normandy in 1869, Louis Valtat enrolled at the École des Beaux-Arts at the age of 17, where he studied under the great French figure painters Gustave Boulanger and Jules Lefebvre. There, he began his association with several artists who would influence the trajectory of his career, including Henri Matisse, Édouard Vuillard, Pierre Bonnard and Paul Signac, with whom he remained lifelong friends. He was awarded the Jauvin d’Attainville prize in 1890 and exhibited for the first time at the Salon des Artistes Indépendants in 1893.
With Vollard as his dealer and agent, Valtat became a widely exhibited and successful artist during his lifetime. Throughout his career, the artist remained true to his unique style. He was never completely associated with a particular art movement, but is remembered for his crucial influence on early Fauvism. Today, Valtat’s works are found in important collections around the globe, including the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, and many others.
