Renoir masterfully created Luncheon of the Boating Party's mood of enchantment by capturing the immediacy of a contemporary moment - nineteenth century leisure on the Seine and the universal appeal of human celebration. Moreover, he combined several of the traditional categories of painting: still life, landscape, portraiture and genre. The result is a timeless painting that captures the atmosphere of an idyllic place, where friends share the pleasures of food, wine and conversation. Scala's new 4-fold format is ideal for displaying and complementing this exquisite painting, showcasing archival photographs identifying the revelers, ex-rays of the painting, revealing little-known compositional changes, and complementary details and images that fold-out to bring this late nineteenth century icon to life.
