- Monet had a boat outfitted with art supplies so he could paint from the middle of the water. (That’s one way to practice social distancing!) Learn more about this painting from Martha Lucy, deputy director for research, interpretation and education.
When you're back #seeingtheBarnes in person, look for The Studio Boat in Room 9 of our galleries.

The barnes takeout has helped me through the pandemic!
An excellent presentation - most informative. Thank you
Love these talks. I especially like the reflection of the trees in the water and the clearer sky and boat reflections in the center, just wonderful. I can feel the day.
Beautiful treatment of light and shadow! "I like to paint as the bird sings" Monet
Thanks so much for this "Takeout"! A few years ago, I copied that painting for my in-laws. Loved every brush stroke. For me, it's like going back in time since the brush strokes are so amazing and dynamic. NICE!
Would love to see your rendering of it
I have had a framed poster of this for many years, always seek it out at the Barnes, can actually still see the room where it hangs. Thanks for all the insight, can't wait to see it again in person.
This was fascinating. Thank you for teaching us about Monet, esp. his technique.
Thank you for this wonderful commentary. I have always been attracted to this painting. However, what I am seeing in the
painting is the reflection of the foliage on either bank in the river itself - not the acquatic plants that you mention.
Please keep up this exploration of the Barnes art - I look forward to it each day.
Agree about the reflection.
On closeup I see what you mean.
Thank you for a great session. It brings back nice memories of walking around Giverny and looking at the pond and the gardens. These sessions are super!
Thank you so much for posting these videos. I love them! ... I always loved this painting but it never occurred to me that the figure in the painting might not be Monet.
Beautiful painting. I love Monet!! And so great to have it explained in depth. I love how you talked about the water on the shore area. Very well prepared explanations . I appreciate this “Barnes Takeout”. What a great idea. Thank you. Now I can’t wait to go back and visit again.
Thanks for this talk. I had seen this picture before(in photos) but never really noticed the boat's reflection in the water. While watching your talk I realized, wow, I have managed to miss, not only over half the painting, but probably the more interesting half. Thanks.
I'm so grateful for your daily posts. I love the Barnes. It is wonderful to see the subject painting in its location so the next time I am there I can revisit them one by one. A thought about The Studio Boat...you mentioned the "moss" in the water. I saw that as a reflection of the trees. Possible?
I just discovered your site and glad I did...it just popped into my feed and is now feeding my inspiration - thank you for the thoughtful and relaxing discussion...like poetry on paper
I agree with you that this figure could be his wife - makes you wonder what boat he was in while painting her! Loved your description of his brushstroke in the water line - pulling thru the wet paint to blend together. Thank you!
Thank you for these Takeouts to enjoy. I just received my copy of Willibald Sauerländer’s book, Manet Paints Monet, a Summer in Argenteuil. It has illustrations of both this painting and Manet’s painting of The Boat, ( Claude Monet in His Floating Studio. )It looks like these are two different boats altogether.
.
. In Manet’s work, the side of the upper structure sits inside the fishing boat and is curved, like the boat. In Monet’s painting, the upper structure is rectangular and the outside edges hang over the boat, not inside as in Manet’s. So perhaps Monet, sitting in his boat painted a different boat floating nearby?
Wonderful! Will share with my students. Thank you!
Very interesting, I for the first time saw a kinship with Gainsborough' s imaginative landscape drawings (he was a pioneer in mark making) in the rich calligraphic black mark's scattered so judiciously here in this Monet.
I thought that perhaps Monet had painted this from a bridge, since the perspective was from the center of the river. Looking at Google Earth and the Seine at Argenteuil, it is hard to associate the painting with any location in that area (it seems much more industrial than Monet's time) although there is an Ile d'Impressionist and a bridge to it.
thank you.
I thought it was magical that he painted his wife into the reflection. The actual reflection would only include the bottom of the boat.
@@vivianperlmutter7780 that's cool, too. thank you!
I think the figure inside the boat is a woman, as you mentioned. If you look closely at the outline of the form, you can see her shawl draped over her shoulders and her bust. As Lynn Kenny mentioned, it could be a different boat than Monet's. The figure is dressed in black. Did his wife wear black or was that color reserved for widows at that time? It is my understanding that most women did not wear black, except widows, until Chanel made it fashionable.
How many monets do you have? Many monets?
