So much better than Instagram! Pierre-Auguste Renoir invited 14 friends to lunch one summer–several lunches actually–and ended up creating this spectacular work of art.
In today’s episode we find out about this happy group and that beautiful riverside restaurant they’re clearly enjoying. And Karen Jackson will tell you a pretty funny story about how Duncan Phillips was able to get this stunner for his new modern art museum, the Phillips Collection in Washington DC.
