I know I'm not spelling this correctly. I'll try to spell it how it sounds so you'll know what I'm talking about. (Rimm-wa) I believe he was a French renaissance painter. I also remember that he used auburn-haired women as his motif. If anyone knows what the hell I'm talking about I would definitely appreciate a correct spelling of his name, or if I'm wrong about the motif. Then which artist used that particular motif and what is their name? With out a doubt I still want to know if there is such an artist, (Rimm-wa)? This is driving me crazy. Please respond quickly.

While it is pronunced similarly as "Ren-wa" in English, I think the painter you are talking about is Renoir.

Your phonetic rendering makes me think you may be trying to pronounce Renoir.
That and the fact that he painted many, many auburn haired women.
He's not Renaissance, though - he's Impressionist.
