Party on a Boat, also known as The Rower in a Top Hat, is a masterpiece painting by Impressionist artist Gustave Caillebotte. The painting shows a group of people enjoying a boat ride on the Seine River west of Paris. Thanks to the bold use of perspective and naturalistic style, the picture captures both the leisurely atmosphere of a summer day and the rhythms of industrial society. Caillebotte was known for his exceptional observation, which he applied to contemporary urban life through his paintings. In "Party on Boats" he demonstrates this ability by depicting landscapes along the Seine River with extraordinary detail. The composition of the painting effectively conveys movement, and the boat is depicted from an intimate angle, making the viewer feel as if they are participating in its joyous journey. One thing that stands out about Boating Party is its ownership history: it remained in the family of Gustave Caillebotte for several generations until it was recently sold to the French National Collection. LVMH purchased it for about $47 million through a donation. Now housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, it continues to attract art enthusiasts from around the world who admire Gustave Caillebotte's unique style and innovative techniques." The original picture was painted in 1877-78 with oil on canvas and has dimensions: 90 x 117 cm.
