Oil on Canvas
Jean Frédéric Bazille (December 6, 1841 – November 28, 1870) was a French Impressionist painter, he helped found the Impressionist movement of the late 19th century, before dying in combat in the Franco-Prussian War.
Bazille began studying medicine in 1859, and moved to Paris in 1862 to continue his studies. There he met Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Alfred Sisley, was drawn to Impressionist painting, and began taking classes in Charles Gleyre's studio. After failing his medical exam in 1864, he began painting full-time. His close friends included Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley, and Édouard Manet. Bazille was generous with his wealth, and helped support his less fortunate associates by giving them space in his studio and materials to use. His best-known painting is Family Reunion of 1867–1868 (Musée d'Orsay, Paris).

Impressionism is a 19th-century art movement characterized by relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities, ordinary subject matter, inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience, and unusual visual angles. Impressionism originated with a group of Paris-based artists whose independent exhibitions brought them to prominence during the 1870s and 1880s.

MGM National Harbor Fountain Show Washington DC



MGM National Harbor Waterfront Fountain Show Washington DC
National Harbor DC National harbor is located along the Potomac River just south of Washington DC and across the river from Alexandria VA. It has a convention center, hotels, restaurants, and condos. The area is known for its scenic waterfront and also hosts different events throughout the year including concerts and film screenings.
The MGM resort is right next to it and includes a casino, hotel, stores, spa, restaurants, theatre and much more.

Although National Harbor is only 2 square miles it is an urban waterfront community with lots of newer construction and plenty going on.

As far as transportation to and from National Harbor there is no metro and driving is usually the recommended form of transportation, (not a far drive from Northern Va 5-15 minutes) or downtown DC (10-20 minutes). There is also a short water taxi from Old Town Alexandria that brings you to the harbor.

There are over 25 restaurants here including McCormick and Schmicks, Rosa Mexicano, The Sunset Room, and many other great places.
