Pierre-Auguste Renoir was one of the most influential painters in art history, but few people know that he suffered from debilitating rheumatoid arthritis. Despite his arthritis, he was able to maintain an incredible level of precision and efficiency with his painting. More importantly, he remained positive and did not let his condition affect his passion for painting or take away from the beauty that he saw in the world around him. Renoir applied a wide variety of coping mechanisms and used his ingenuity to come up with different ways to continue painting even as his arthritis weakened him. Renoir's long battle with rheumatoid arthritis serves as an inspiration to patients who experience the pain and limited mobility associated with this disease, encouraging them to persevere and to develop coping mechanisms that prevent the effects of their impairment from disabling them.
皮埃尔 - 奥古斯特·雷诺阿是艺术史上最具影响力的画家之一，但很少有人知道他患有使人衰弱的类风湿性关节炎。尽管身患关节炎，他在绘画时仍能保持令人难以置信的精准度和效率。更重要的是，他始终保持积极的心态，不让病情影响他对绘画的热情，也不影响他对周围世界之美的感知。雷诺阿运用了各种各样的应对机制，并发挥他的创造力，想出不同的方法来继续绘画，即便关节炎使他身体衰弱。雷诺阿与类风湿性关节炎的长期斗争激励着那些遭受这种疾病带来的疼痛和行动受限之苦的患者，鼓励他们坚持不懈，并开发应对机制，防止身体损伤使他们丧失能力。
