Pierre Auguste Renoir was a French painter who was associated with the Impressionist movement and often painted accompanied by Monet. Although their styles were similar, Renoir employed more colour and focused on the human aspects of the scene as opposed to the landscape, as is evident through the proximity of La Grenouillère. La Grenouillère, meaning “The Frog Pool” was a very popular middle-class resort during the 1860s, consisting of a spa, boating establishment and a floating café. It was located on the Seine, near Bougival and was the idyllic setting for one of Renoir’s works, which often depicted the leisure and opulence of his subjects.
