Morphology
Pierre-Auguste + Renoir
This is a proper name referring to a specific person; the identity and biographical meaning (a French Impressionist painter) are not compositionally derived from the name parts. Proper names are arbitrary and referential across languages, so knowing the constituent tokens does not allow a B1 learner to infer the MWE's encyclopedic meaning.
Etymology
Pierre-Auguste Renoir was a French painter who loved to paint people bathed in warm sunlight and bright color. Imagine soft light on smiling faces in a park or at a dance — that clear picture helps you remember why his name is linked to 'light-filled' and 'joyful' paintings.
