1874, Edouard Manet, The Monet Family in Their Garden at Argenteuil (detail) -- Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York)
From the museum label: In July and August 1874 Manet vacationed at his family's house in Gennevilliers, just across the Seine from Argenteuil, where Claude Monet and his family lived. The two painters saw each other often that summer, and on a number of occasions they were joined by Auguste Renoir, who painted the Monet family alongside Manet en plein air. Monet and Renoir joined Degas in organizing the first Impressionist exhibition that year. Manet did not participate; however, he supported the group and was certainly influenced by them. Despite taking on similar subjects, such as this outdoor family portrait, and incorporating looser brushstrokes in response to their work, his scenes retain the solidity in their paint handling that was hallmark of his oeuvre.
