One Hundred Great Paintings

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Continuing this week's theme: Outdoor Life
Renoir (1841-1919) - "Luncheon of the Boating Party" at the Philips Collection, Washington D.C.

A sense of well-being permeates this entire painting; a feeling of surfeit, a surfeit of sun, air, food and wine. Everyone is young, beautiful and happy. Renoir has captured it for ever - the memory of another, more pleasant time.
Written and presented by Milton Brown

(Tomorrow: Seurat's 'La Grande Jatte')
