Today Bippy, Gramps, Mia and I visited the Musee D’orsee in Paris. Musee D’orsee is a museum of impressionist paintings and Bippy was
in love with the museum. My favorite painting that I saw is Essai de figure
en plein air (vers la gauche) by Claude Monet. Another of my favorites is
the L’Eglise d’Auvers-sur-Oise, vue du Chevet by Vincent van Gogh. And a
painting I don’t know the name of by Renoir.
My favorite, Essai de figure en plein air (vers la gauche) is a
painting of a lady on a wind swept, grassy ridge on a spring day. The reason why I like the painting so much is that you can se the motion of the wind on the figure and her surroundings and I love how bright the colors are. I’m
guessing it was a spring day because the sky was a light blue and some new
spring grass was poking up out of the ground. The figure of the lady is
wearing a white dress with a straw hat holding a green umbrella and probably
a veil because her face is kind of blurred.
The van Gogh painting is of a church with a sagging roof that
makes the church look haunted. A path forks right in front of the church and
proceeds on either side of it, a slightly plump lady wearing a hat’s walking
on the left side of the left path. Green grass covers the ground and is
sprinkled with white and yellow spring flowers. In the distance, behind the
church is a village with trees and red roofs.
The other painting by Renoir is of two young girls, a blond girl
playing the piano and a brunet girl pointing at the sheet music. The blond
haired girl was wearing a white dress with blue ribbons and was very pretty.
The brown haired girl was wearing a red dress with a white lace collar. The
two girls were in a nice wallpapered room.
After seeing the Musee D’orsee I have figured out witch impressionist painters I like, Monet, Renoir and van Gogh. I’m glade we went into the museum because the line into the museum was really long because today was a free day.
