Luncheon of the Boating Party. Bestseller from Susan Vreeland.

| From Publisher: Instantly recognizable, Auguste Renoir s masterpiece depicts a gathering of his real friends enjoying a summer Sunday on a café terrace along the Seine near Paris. A wealthy painter, an art collector, an Italian journalist, a war hero, a celebrated actress, and Renoir s future wife, among others, share this moment of la vie moderne, a time when social constraints were loosening and Paris was healing after the Franco-Prussian War. Parisians were bursting with a desire for pleasure and a yearning to create something extraordinary out of life. Renoir shared these urges and took on this most challenging project at a time of personal crises in art and love, all the while facing issues of loyalty and the diverging styles that were tearing apart the Impressionist group. Narrated by Renoir and seven of the models and using settings in Paris and on the Seine, Vreeland illuminates the gusto, hedonism, and art of the era. With a gorgeous palette of vibrant, captivating characters, she paints their lives, loves, losses, and triumphs in a brilliant portrait of her own.

TheHorseStudio.com review: One of my all time favorite reads, anyone with a hint of writer or artist will love it. Storytelling from Susan Vreeland is brilliant, with my favorite artist Renoir front and center, the details and research add lots of heart to the tale. A captivating read and one that you won't put down. Meet Degas, Van Gogh and other masters amid its pages and delight in life in Paris, France. It's just like being there. It was also very revealing about how an artist ( as Susan obviously is) sees life. A fascinating account. Tres bien!!!
