Story
Instantly recognizable, Auguste Renoir's masterpiece depicts a gathering of his real friends enjoying a summer Sunday on a café terrace along the Seine near Paris. A wealthy painter, an art collector, an Italian journalist, a war hero, a celebrated actress, and Renoir's future wife, among others, share this moment of la vie moderne, a time when social constraints were loosening and Paris was healing after the Franco-Prussian War.

This book just drips with exquisite detail. The characters are so lifelike, as if you’ve always known them. This book has you feeling as if you’ve stepped into an era and are ready to pose for Renoir on the terrace. I strongly recommend this book for those that like great artists of the past, getting lost in a painting, or escaping your every day, Monday in life to step in to color with poetic drops.
