(3,021 posts)It must be, though my memories of the walk are a bit overwhelmed by the shock of walking into traffic at the end of it. And that's when we turned around to go back into the garden and just sit.
I'm not sure of which painting this would be. There is one by Manet which I know of only because of a Friday Challenge some months ago. It was an early painting by Picasso as it turned out, but it reminded me of Manet even though it had to have been painted long after. That set me off on a three hour query about how the impressionists, especially Manet, had influenced the artists 30 to 50 years later.
I never did answer that quiz. But see there, you never know what influence you have.
ETA, here's the painting I was thinking of, Music of the Tuileries.

I couldn't understand the point he was trying to make with this: dark and broody foliage, with an unreal, almost oppressive, density of people. Of course, it might not even be the painting you had in mind.
