Cat parody[edit]

I've seen a homage or parody of this work with cats. Who did it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.2.40.144 (talk) 21:14, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I guess you mean this. But it's unclear who created it. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:35, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Creating more of a summary of the work[edit]

This is a prominent painting, yet the article is not substantial and unevenly weighted towards a "conservation controversy", based on personal recollection from the 1950s. I propose expanding this article to discuss how the work fits into Renoir's oeuvre, identification of all individuals pictured, and the significance of the scene portrayed. I recommend using the following resources in particular, though there are countless others:

Rathbone, Eliza E. 1996. Impressionists on the Seine: a celebration of Renoir's Luncheon of the boating party. Washington, D.C.: Counterpoint in association with the Phillips Collection. ISBN 1887178309.
Phillips, Duncan (1999). The eye of Duncan Phillips: a collection in the making. Washington, DC: Phillips Collection in association with Yale University New Haven. ISBN 0300080905.

I invite others to assist in improving this article. sarahobender (talk • contribs) 17:51, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You should probably have made explicit here your WP:COI, as you have on your user page, but I'd just get on and do it. The main editors responsible for the article so far don't seem to be around at present, so you may be on your own. Johnbod (talk) 21:35, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of the day

Luncheon of the Boating Party was painted by the French impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir between 1880 and 1881. It depicts a group of his friends relaxing on a balcony at the Maison Fournaise restaurant beside the Seine River in Chatou, France. Included in the Seventh Impressionist Exhibition in 1882, it was purchased from the artist by Paul Durand-Ruel before being bought after a decade-long pursuit in 1923 by industrialist Duncan Phillips. The painting, now in The Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C., has a richness of form, a fluidity of brush stroke, and a flickering light.Painting: Pierre-Auguste Renoir

N.B this was updated to read "...and completed in 1881." Martinevans123 (talk) 16:55, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Date[edit]

When was this work painted? Most sources suggest "1880-1881", which I would interpret as "begun in 1880 and finished in 1881" (although that's not the only possible interpretation). Here's one, and here's another. Presumably his Catalogue raisonné gives a definitive answer? Martinevans123 (talk) 16:52, 20 November 2017 (UTC) p.s. the fr.wiki article Le Déjeuner des canotiers seems to say: "completed in 1880" and that Renoir worked at the painting "from April to July 1880."[reply]
