Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841 - 1919) and Georges Seurat (1859 - 1891) were contemporaries whose contributions to the "new art" of the late 19th century were of enormous significance. This brief report will compare a single painting by each artist. Renoir's Luncheon of the Boating Party (1991) and Seurat's A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (1884- 1886) were painted at roughly the same time, but the two paintings represent very different styles. Renoir's Luncheon of the Boating Party is set in an open air restaurant on the Island of Chatou; it depicts friends of the painter amusing themselves. According to Michael Wood (p. 248), Renoir was fond of images of the happy side of human life and preferred to paint carefree, joyous subjects. He was also interested in (and talented at) portraiture; in this painting, seated at the right and wearing a boatman's hat, is the artist Gustave Caillebotte. Others in the painting include the actress Elle Andress, Baron Barbier, and Renoir's mode and future wife Aline Charigot
