"Boating" is an 1874 painting by the French artist Édouard Manet, a pivotal figure in the transition from Realism to Impressionism. This work exemplifies Manet's innovative approach to composition, color, and modern life subjects, which significantly influenced the trajectory of modern art. The painting depicts a man and a woman leisurely boating on the Seine River, a popular recreational activity among Parisians during the late 19th century. The man, dressed in a white suit and straw hat, is seated at the stern, while the woman, adorned in a blue dress and holding a parasol, occupies the bow. The scene is bathed in natural light, capturing the essence of a sunny day.

Manet's use of loose brushwork and vibrant colors in "Boating" reflects the influence of the Impressionist movement, although he never fully embraced the label himself. The artist's keen observation of light and its effects on the water and figures is evident in the painting's dynamic composition. The juxtaposition of the bright blue of the woman's dress against the softer hues of the surrounding water and sky creates a striking visual contrast, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures.

"Boating" was created during a period when Manet was exploring outdoor scenes and the leisure activities of contemporary society, a theme that resonated with the Impressionists. The painting was exhibited at the Salon of 1879, where it garnered attention for its modern subject matter and innovative style. Today, "Boating" is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it continues to be celebrated as a masterful example of Manet's contribution to the development of modern art. The work remains a testament to Manet's ability to capture the fleeting moments of everyday life with a fresh and spontaneous approach.
