Claude Monet · Central fragment of the monumental project of 1865 -1866 · Musée d'Orsay

Lunch on the Grass, central fragment W63/2hand painted reproduction

Around a white tablecloth covered with fruit, dishes and baskets, four figures appear in a clearing. The light dress of the seated woman captures an almost blinding light, while the standing men and women stand out in the deep greens. This central fragment is one of only two preserved remains of Monet's monumental Luncheon on the Grass.

Look at the work

The tablecloth and the white dress concentrate the light from the entire clearing

In the foreground, the tablecloth extends diagonally and bears an abundant still life: fruit, bread, bottle, dishes, basket and fabrics. The seated woman opens her arms and turns her face towards the viewer. Behind her, a standing man holds a garment or blanket, while a woman in a light dress leans towards the group.

On the left, the bearded figure remains partially caught in the shadows. The Musée d'Orsay notes its striking resemblance to Gustave Courbet, who came to see Monet and Bazille during the winter of 1865 -1866. The vertical birches and low branches give a natural architecture to this open-air social gathering.

This fragment should not be read as a randomly cropped painting: it preserves the luminous core of a composition which originally measured more than four by six meters.

Composition, touch and light

What Monet builds behind the impression of snapshot

Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.

01

A center dominated by colored whites

The dress, tablecloth and sleeves are never uniform white. They receive blue, pink, ocher and the green shadows of the clearing; these gaps give the light its power without erasing the volumes.

02

Figures taken from the landscape

Dark clothing, foliage and trunks respond to each other with color. Monet avoids the effect of silhouettes placed in front of a setting: the characters belong to the same fragmented light as the trees.

03

The diagonal of the meal against the verticals

The tablecloth and gestures open the space to the right, while the birches rise almost parallel. This opposition stabilizes a scene that is nevertheless dense and explains its effectiveness on a monumental scale.

Reference image

Read this specific version

The image shows the central part kept at the Musée d'Orsay, inventory RF 1987 12 and catalog Wildenstein 63/2. The WebP file of 2,247 × 2,590 px respects the current shape of the fragment and allows figures such as the still life.

Composition01

The seated woman is the home, not an isolated figure

Its sleeves, dress and tablecloth fit into a wide light area. Their internal limits must be preserved by small cold and warm variations without creating a dark outline.

Color02

The bearded character remains in a transparent shadow

His face, his coat and his beard combine brown, green and colored black. An opaque black mass would make his posture disappear and break the gradual passage towards the undergrowth.

Matter03

Still life organizes the foreground

The fruits, baskets and containers are precise but subordinate to the whole. Their ocher, red and brown touches must punctuate the tablecloth without becoming a succession of meticulously surrounded objects.

Documented benchmarks

Three pieces of information specific to this work

This central fragment painted in 1865 -1866 measures 248.7 × 218 cm and weighs 97 kg. It is kept at the Musée d'Orsay under the inventory RF 1987 12 and cataloged Wildenstein 63/2.

Project01

More than four by six meters originally

Monet began this immense composition in the spring of 1865 as a tribute as well as a challenge to Manet's Déjeuner sur l'herbe, shown at the Salon des Refusés of 1863. He wanted to present it at the Salon of 1866.

Destiny02

A canvas rolled up, damaged then cut out

Pawned for rent, the canvas is kept rolled up in a cellar and suffers from humidity. Monet recovered it in 1884, cut it out and kept three fragments; only two are known today.

Collection03

The central fragment received by donation in 1987

After remaining with Monet and then in the collection of his son Michel, this fragment entered the national collections by donation in 1987. An additional strip had already been removed on the right after 1920.

Your reproduction

What the painter must preserve

Fidelity here depends on precise relationships between light, touch, depth and color temperature.

  • Maintain the vertical shape and framing specific to the central fragment.
  • Color all the whites of the dress and the tablecloth.
  • Maintain readable dark figures in the undergrowth.
  • Paint still life in accents without hardening each object.
