Dec 11, 2006 The family at “Le déjeuner des canotiers” Pierre Auguste Renoir 1881

From the family December 2006 Christmas card.

December 11, 2006

Kevin, Caroline and Evelyn had a fête galante attending the “Luncheon of the Boating Party” with friends of Pierre Auguste Renoir on a balcony of the Maison Fournaise along the Seine River in Chatou, France in 1881.

We went with Aline Charigot, a young seamstress, whom Mr. Renoir married in 1890. She is in the foreground playing with a small dog. Behind Kevin in the yellow hat is Alphonse Fournaise Jr., who was responsible for the boat rentals.

The woman leaning on the rail, wearing the yellow hat is Alphonsine Fournaise, the daughter of the proprietor. She is talking with a gentleman, whom we cannot see, who is the former mayor of Saigon, Baron Raoul Barbier.

Later he hit on Caroline. Not to worry, Caroline has had enough of mayors, she likes artists and writers. Seated in the chair with the yellow hat in the right-foreground, is fellow artist and close friend Gustave Caillebotte who is talking with Angèle, an actress, in the blue dress, and Maggiolo, an Italian journalist.

I did talk with him some later. He also likes semi-colons.

From right to left across the back is Jeanne Samary, an actress. She is wearing the blue dress and is behind Maggilo.

Hitting on Ms. Samary is the artist Paul Lhote and Eugène Pierre Lestringez, who is some sort of bureaucrat. All the way in the back, wearing the top hat is the editor of the Gazette des Beaux-Arts, Charles Ephrussi.

Editors are pretty cool and he was fun to talk with later. Here, he is talking with Jules Laforgue, wearing a brown coat and cap. He is a poet, critic, and Mr. Ephrussi’s personal secretary.
