1874, Edouard Manet, Boating (detail) -- Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York)
From the museum label: Manet summered at Gennevilliers in 1874, often spending time with Monet and Renoir across the Seine at Argenteuil, where Boating was painted. In this scene of outdoor leisure, he not only adopted the lighter touch and palette of his younger Impressionist colleagues but also borrowed the broad planes of color, strong diagonals, high vantage point, and close cropping typical of Japanese prints. Rodolphe Leenhoff, the artist's brother-in-law, is thought to have posed for the sailor, but the identity of the woman is uncertain. Manet exhibited this painting at the Salon of 1879.
