Pierre-August Renoir’s “Luncheon of the Boating Party” is one of D.C.’s most treasured paintings. Thousands of visitors flock to the Phillips Collection to see it every year. But secrets lurk underneath its layers of paint, revealing a new series of characters and models that the acclaimed Impressionist eventually covered up. Art historians and curators used a variety of techniques, including X-ray and infrared scans, to look inside the painting, and the results of their work can be seen at a new exhibit opening this weekend at the Phillips.
