Jean and Genevieve Caillebotte by Renoir

The piece I chose to do is called Jean and Genevieve Caillebotte by Renoir. It is a piece created during the Impressionist Movement. Today I have learned more about what the Impressionist Movement really was and what makes a piece part of it. On Friday I am hoping to be able to research my piece more, learn more about what possessed Renoir to create this and the history behind it. I'm hoping that I can find a website or a book that will be of much more help to me then previous sites. Nothing seems to be working and I can't find any websites that give me information about what Renoir's meaing of painting this was about and such...

  1. Julia, don't worry about what others think the painting means. Do the background, factual research and then you interpret and analyze the painting. What you see is more important, so don't let other art critics skew your view of this piece.
