Sources and distinctions
The comparison notes describe Monet’s emphasis on water and light, and Renoir’s emphasis on people under the trees. They are the demonstration’s observations, not quotations from Duret about these two paintings.
- Monet, La Grenouillère (1869): CC0 reproduction.
- Renoir, La Grenouillère (1869): Nationalmuseum. Public-domain digital reproduction; photograph by Anna Danielsson / Nationalmuseum.
- Duret, Critique d’avant-garde (1885), Renoir chapter, pp. 109–116: public-domain text. Chinese commentary and questions were prepared for this demonstration.
Method: this was an earlier Bridge task-package workflow. An external assistant prepared structured notes for import, followed by source checks and manual adjustments. It is not an end-to-end recording of the current MarginNote CLI.
