Before you read Vreeland's excellent account of the
painting of The Boating Party, get as large a copy of
the masterpiece as you can find, because you are going to refer to it often. You will look at the painting to identify the fourteen people who are partying on the
Seine on a gorgeous summer day. You will search the painting for the details that Vreeland provides about
color, brushwork, structure and form. Best of all the
stories of the individuals in the painting, the description of late 19th century Paris and the joy of
watching Auguste Renoir create will cause you to love the painting even more after reading this historical fiction than you did before.
