'Monet in His Studio Boat' by Edouard Manet, Neue Pinakothek, Munich, Germany
A Monet painted by Manet! This work is a delight for those who love to play with the similarities between the two Impressionist painters' names. Edouard Manet (1832-1883) painted this work in 1874. It shows his friend Claude Monet (1840-1926) painting nature around him in his 'studio boat' on the river Seine in Argenteuil. Monet' wife Camille can be seen in the cabin of the boat. The work and its title capture the essence of Impressionism since Impressionist artists popularized the idea of leaving the studio to paint in the open, to better capture nature and its light.
