    Claude Monet(http://www.allartpainting.com/claude-monet-m-202.html) painted The Luncheon, Monet’s Garden at Argenteuil in 1873. The Luncheon presents the comfortable informality of Monet’s life in Argenteuil during the months of high summer. With the meal concluded, Camillehis wife, takes a visitor on a stroll through the garden while Jean plays with his blocks in the shadow cast by the table.Claude Monet’s The Luncheon, Monet’s Garden at Argenteuil (63-3/4×79-7/8 inches) is an oil on canvas
    housed at the Musee d’Orsay in Paris.

    Monet re-creates the most pleasant sensations of a sunny afternoon — the vivid flowers, the cool patches of shade, the breezy fabrics of summer gowns — with lightly applied dabs of color.
