This painting by Renoir is one of my very favorites. I especially like the lady and the little dog looking at her! Of course that lady became his wife!

I could watch 2-3 hours of this. Will you ever release a documentary on the Louvre?

NPR had a piece on a life-size, 3D creation of this painting. It was what got me interested in Renoir's work and Impressionism in general.

I grew up with this picture hanging on our dining-room wall. Only today I decided to look up who did it, what it's about. It's very interesting. Thank you.

If you love this painting read the historic novel Luncheon of the Boating Party by Susan Vreeland. It is meticulously researched, and Vreeland fills in a fictional story, putting flesh on the skeleton of historic facts about the creation of this painting. It is so well written I discovered ideas about this painting I'd never considered before.

love this video and this painting! It's so joyful and it seems like an easy snapshot but I guess achieving it wasn't easy at all. Anyway, I live in Italy and I've been to many museums here and in Europe but I gam sure this wonderful picture deserves a trip to America... who knows, I might see it in person one day,

Love your stuff guys.

"Particular class"

Was this painting originally this big in dimensions or did he paint it smaller at first?? 🤔🤔

Antonio Maggiolo looks like a young Claude Debussy.

Caillebotte has got to be one of the coolest names ever.
