SOLD: Gen Paul’s “Le Grenouillère”

April 12, 2016

Source: Le Grenouillère – this important work by the 20th century French artist Gen Paul (1895-1975) has found a new home.  According to Wikipedia: La Grenouillère was a popular middle-class resort consisting of a spa, a boating establishment and a floating café. Optimistically promoted as “Trouville-sur-Seine”, it was located on the Seine near Bougival, easily accessible by train from Paris and had just been favored with a visit by Emperor Napoleon III with his wife and son. Monet and Renoir both recognized in La Grenouillère an ideal subject for the images of leisure they hoped to sell.
