Ep.27 - PIERRE AUGUSTE RENOIR - THE LUNCHEON OF THE BOATING PARTY - BLULIGHT GALLERY

http://www.blulight.it - ART GALLERY - Luncheon of the Boating Party (1881, French: Le déjeuner des canotiers) is a painting by French impressionist Pierre-Auguste Renoir. It is currently housed in the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C. The painting depicts a group of Renoir's friends relaxing on a balcony at the Maison Fournaise along the Seine river in Chatou, France. The painter and art patron, Gustave Caillebotte, is seated in the lower right. Renoir's future wife, Aline Charigot, is in the foreground playing with a small dog. In this painting Renoir has captured a great deal of light. As you can see the main focus of light is coming from the large opening in the balcony, beside the large singleted man in the hat. The singlets of both men in the foreground and the table-cloth both work together to reflect this light and send it through the whole composition.

It was featured prominently in Jean-Pierre Jeunet's film Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain released in English as Amélie (2001). The most prominent reference is a comparison between the film's protagonist, Amélie, and the woman in the centre sipping a glass, seemingly gazing out of the canvas, uninterested, while everyone else is enjoying the day together.

A homage to this painting appears in the final panel of On the False Earths, the seventh volume of Jean-Claude Mézières and Pierre Christin's long-running comic book series Valérian and Laureline.

I was cleaning out an old stable and found a chest containing a violin

and an oil painting, after cleaning them up, i found one was a Renoir and the other a Stradavarios. .....Unfortunatly Renoir made Crap violins!

...e non sapevo che la ragazza che guarda fuori dalla tela mentre beve, apparentemente disinteressata, avesse ispirato il personaggio della "mia " amatissima Amélie Poulin!...chè bello!

...ma anche per il rapporto bellissimo che sembra uomini e donne intrattengano fra di loro, quest'opera segna un passo verso il progresso: si tratta di un rapporto sereno e paritario!

Grazie BlulingGallery, non vedevo questo video da tempo, e devo dire che mi paice sempre moltissimo per la scelta della traccia musicale e per "l'occhio" che ci conduce dentro l'opera!

buona serata!

Il tutto è un incanto. Il quadro di Renoir fa rivivere il quotidiano del ceto medio dell'Ottocento, della Terza repubblica. La società che compare in tante belle pagine di Maupassant. Un quadro certo noto, ma che per così dire si "vede sempre volentieri "

I came across a painting while cleaning out the attic of a home I bought 12 years ago. The painting looks exactly like this only its the bottom corner of the woman and dog. I was gonna trash it but decided to hold on to it. Is there anything you can tell me about it?

I just spent 400 hours reproducing this painting with colored ballpoint pen so i have a good idea of what the original look like and your reproduction is very nicely done !! Very nice !!

Hai scelto la musica perfetta, per accompagnare questo dipinto che ci fa amare la

vita nei suoi aspetti piu' gioiosi, si sente quasi il profumo di un vino fresco frizzante!

Grazie, che bello!
