How Can We Help?
Boating is an 1874 painting by French artist Édouard Manet in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.[1]
Done in oil on canvas, the painting depicts a man (believed to be Manet's brother in law, Rodolphe Leenhoff) and an unknown woman boating on the River Seine at Argenteuil in the Paris suburbs.[2]
In the work Manet uses two new blue pigments, cerulean blue and synthetic ultramarine. The composition is radically cropped and inspired by Japanese art.[3]
The work is on view in Gallery 818.
