Interestingly, the "The Lady and the Unicorn" was on loan early 2018 in Sydney. Would expect it to be back at the Cluny.

Those are the two surviving fragments of "Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe" by Monet, not to be confused with the more scandalous painting of the same name by Manet.

Reminds me of our week there a couple of years ago. Van Gogh in the D'Orsay museum blew me away. Monet was my second favorite.

Almost all of those impressionist artists were hanging around Paris for a period of only about 10 years as I recall, and made some incredible works in that time.

Looks like you liked it too!
