Our Inspiration: The Monet Family in Their Garden at Argenteuil
Edouard Manet (French, 1832–1883)
Oil on canvas, 24 x 39 1/4 in., 1874
Bequest of Joan Whitney Payson, 1975 1976.201.14
In July and August 1874, Manet vacationed at his family’s house in Gennevilliers, just across the Seine from Monet at Argenteuil. The two painters saw each other often that summer, and on a number of occasions they were joined by Renoir. While Manet was painting this picture of Monet with his wife Camille and their son Jean, Monet painted Manet at his easel Renoir, who arrived just as Manet was beginning to work, borrowed paint, brushes, and canvas, positioned himself next to Manet, and painted Madame Monet and Her Son (National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.).
