“Luncheon of the Boating Party” painted by Pierre-Auguste Renoir
When viewing this painting, one can almost hear the clinking of glasses. Pierre-Auguste Renoir has been described as “the final representative of a tradition that runs directly from Rubens to Watteau” as a celebrator of beauty.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir is a favorite among Impressionists, and for a good reason. “The Boating Party Luncheon” is an excellent study of light. This painting was included in the Salon in 1882. But did you spot the black Scottish Terrier? How adorable!
