But he was also drawn to the sentimental, painting many portraits of family and friends. One of his best known is this painting, Luncheon of the Boating Party. The subject of the painting is a formal lunch with friends after a morning boating on the river Seine. The event takes place on the balcony of a hotel in the suburbs of Paris. The painting is unique in that it effectively combines three different genres: group portraiture, landscape and still life. Renoir’s friends represent a who’s who of the creative and influential in Paris. In the foreground is Gustave Caillebotte, a significant painter in his own right. Next to him is the actress, Angèle Legault, being regaled by Italian writer Adrien Maggiolo. In the background is the art critic, Charles Ephrussi. Relaxing along the rail are Alphonse and Alphonsine Fournaise the son and daughter of the hotel owner. The woman playing with the tiny dog is Aline Chargot, a seamstress whom Renoir would later marry. There’s a certain voyeuristic quality about work, making us privy to the interactions of these people. These two men are flirting with this woman. The art critic is instructing his secretary. This woman has a very distant look ignoring her companion. This young woman is looking dreamily at the man who is entertaining with his talk. The rail and the awning give the work perspective and works to separate the boating party from the landscape in the background. And the play of light and color play directs the eye through the composition. In particular, little spots of white leads us from group to group like a trail of breadcrumbs. Despite its complexity, there’s a freshness and immediacy to work as if Renoir painted it on the spot, when in fact it was painted over several months, with each of the participants visiting Renoir’s studio to pose. It’s one of Renoir’s largest and most popular paintings. So much so, movie gangster and art enthusiast, Edward G. Robinson famously recounted spending hours and days in a museum admiring 'Luncheon of the Boating Party'...and fantasizing ways to steal it. #renoirpaintings #theluncheonoftheboatingparty #impressionistartists #augusterenoir #oilpaintingreproductions #impressionism (http•••)
