La Grenouillère is an 1869 oil on canvas painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, now in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm. It shows the “camembert”, a small island planted with a single tree, linked by gangplanks to the Île de la Grenouillère (left, out of picture) and to the fashionable La Grenouillère floating restaurant and boat-hire at Croissy-sur-Seine near Bougival.
Monet painted this scene as well.
How fantastic, a great look at two different interpretations of a similar scene!
Ooh. I like the water ripples (looks great zoomed out) and increased sense of depth in the Monet one.
Renoir’s brush strokes are so rough, simple.
Monet’s colors are brighter, more alive.
I can’t decide which I like more, so I’m just going to enjoy them both!
Yes! But I prefer Renoir’s people.
