« previous picture | 1880s Degas Paintings | next picture »

During the early 1870s, Renoir and Monet often painted side by side,
producing images of the same subject and sometimes using each
other and other family members as models. In Renoir’s informal
portrait of Camille Monet, the painter’s wife sits on a comfortable
sofa reading a paperback book. - art-Renoir.com

In May 1889, after episodes of self-mutilation and hospitalization,
Vincent van Gogh chose to enter an asylum in Saint-Rémy, France.
There, in the last year before his death, he created almost 130
paintings. Within the first week, he began Irises, working from
nature in the asylum's garden. - art-vanGogh.com
