This major exhibition at the Phillips Gallery was organized to celebrate
the 100th anniversary of the purchase by Duncan Phillips of the Gallery’s
prize possession, Renior’s glorious “Luncheon of the Boating Party.” Renior
and his contemporaries, Monet, Manet, Pissarro, Sisley and others, loved
to spend weekends downriver from Paris in the small villages of Chatoux and
Argenteuil painting the river and the popular leisure activities, particularly
boating, which suddenly became possible with the ending of the Franco-Prussian
War in 1871. The lovely results of these excursions are on view to the general
public at the Phillips until mid-February, BUT we have arranged for a private,
docent-led lecture for up to 50 people on a Thursday morning (sorry, no group
tours are available on the weekends).
