I just saw a photo of this painting and thought of simpler times. When people could meet in groups, no one wore face coverings, and there was less fear in the world.
The conversation flows, there is gentle banter, there are smiles and laughter. People drink and eat and share food, a mouthful or two of delicious fruit or a compote. Wine and beer, fruit juice and water. The voices murmur, no need to shout through a mask and at a distance. I hope we can go back to more carefree times, but we will have to see. Stay safe. X

Renoir really does make his world look like that — but I don’t think it really was. I guess we could paint the same idealistic reality and probably feel better if we did. ā¤

I love Renoir, and I actually have a print of this picture. Maybe it is just an idea, but it is a good one, and we need good ideas, especially right now.
