		</div><p>A French museum has acquired an Impressionist masterpiece thanks to a huge donation from luxury goods giant LVMH.</p>
<p>LVMH donated the 43 million euros (£38m) needed to acquire A Boating Party by 19th-century French artist Gustave Caillebotte.</p>
<p>The oil on canvas shows an oarsman in a top hat rowing his skiff on languid waters.</p>
<p>The work, remarkable for its realism, delicate colours and almost cinematic perspective – as though the artist was in the boat with the rower – went on display on Monday in the Musee d’Orsay.</p>
<p>It is the latest addition to the Paris museum’s already impressive collection of Impressionist art.</p>
<p>The painting was sold by Caillebotte’s descendants.</p>
<p>It had been one of the last Impressionist masterpieces still in private hands, said Jean-Paul Claverie, an adviser to LVMH boss Bernard Arnault.</p>
