# Camille Monet and Her Son Jean in Their Garden [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [RENOIR, Pierre-Auguste]() - Date: 1851-1900 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 50 x 68 cm ## Commentary Monet recounted what happened that day in his Argenteuil garden. Renoir appeared, and, attracted by the atmosphere, decided to paint the same subject as painted by Manet, Camille Monet and Her Son in Their Garden. It is interesting to compare the two works painted that day. We see that Manet's painting seems both more carefully thought out and more ambitious than Renoir's. Manet remains allusive, lacking the spontaneity shown by Renoir. But then, Renoir was practiced at this kind of painting, whereas Manet was the beginner. ## Related artworks - [A Box at the Theater \(At the Concert\)]() - [Acrobats at the Cirque Fernando]() - [After the Bath]() - [At the Luxembourg Garden]() - [At the Theatre \(La Première Sortie\)]() - [Banks of the Seine at Champrosay]() - [Bather Arranging her Hair]() - [Bather \(Grande Baigneuse\)]() - [Bather]() - [Blossoming Chestnut Tree]() - [Bouquet of Chrysanthemums]() - [By the Seashore]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
