« previous picture | 1880s Degas Paintings | next picture »

Pierre-Auguste Renoir painted 'Lunch at the Restaurant Fournaise' during
the summer of 1875 in Chatou, west of Paris on the Seine River. The setting
is the terrace of a restaurant on an island in the river, a popular meeting
place for recreational rowers. Renoir was friendly with the proprietors of the
restaurant, the Fournaise family. - art-Renoir.com

Mäda Primavesi was, by her own account, an independent, assertive
young girl, qualities amply captured in this portrait of her at about
nine years old. Gustav Klimt made numerous preliminary sketches
for the picture, experimenting with different poses and background
motifs before he arrived at the present composition - art-Klimt.com
