We start with my favourite Monet
Bathers at La Grenouillère, 1869.
In the summer of 1869 Monet was living near La Grenouillère with his mistress, Camille, and their son. It was here, at Grenouillere, that he worked with Renoir for the first time and on canvases almost identical in style.

This picture of a popular boating and bathing establishment near the Seine was made in preparation for a slightly larger and more ambitious canvas which has now apparently been destroyed.
