La Grenouillère is an 1869 oil on canvas painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, now in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm. It shows the “camembert”, a small island planted with a single tree, linked by gangplanks to the Île de la Grenouillère (left, out of picture) and to the fashionable La Grenouillère floating restaurant and boat-hire at Croissy-sur-Seine near Bougival.

    Ooh. I like the water ripples (looks great zoomed out) and increased sense of depth in the Monet one.

      Renoir’s brush strokes are so rough, simple.

      Monet’s colors are brighter, more alive.

      I can’t decide which I like more, so I’m just going to enjoy them both!
