Talk:Luncheon of the Boating Party

Cat parody
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)


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

Creating more of a summary of the work
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: I invite others to assist in improving this article. sarahobender (talk • contribs) 17:51, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

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

Date
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."
