"A Bar at the Folies-Bergère" is a seminal painting by the French artist Édouard Manet, completed in 1882, just a year before his death. This masterpiece is renowned for its complex and enigmatic portrayal of a barmaid at the Folies-Bergère, one of the most famous cabarets in Paris during the late 19th century. The painting is celebrated for its intricate use of light, reflection, and perspective, which have intrigued and puzzled art historians and critics for decades.

The artwork is a large oil on canvas, measuring 96 cm x 130 cm, and is currently housed in the Courtauld Gallery, London. It represents a significant departure from traditional narrative painting, focusing instead on the atmosphere of the Folies-Bergère and the solitary figure of the barmaid, who stands at the center of the composition, seemingly detached from the bustling activity around her. The mirror behind her reflects the vibrant life of the bar, including the figures of the patrons and the intricate details of the interior, creating a complex interplay of reality and reflection that challenges viewers' perceptions.

Manet's use of light and shadow, along with his distinctive brushwork, contributes to the sense of immediacy and modernity that characterizes the painting. The composition's ambiguity, particularly in the spatial relationship between the barmaid and her reflection, has been a subject of extensive analysis and interpretation. Scholars have explored themes of alienation, the commodification of leisure, and the role of women in modern urban life, as reflected in this work.

"A Bar at the Folies-Bergère" is considered one of Manet's greatest contributions to the Impressionist movement, although he maintained a somewhat independent stance from the Impressionists. The painting exemplifies his interest in capturing contemporary life and his innovative approach to composition and perspective. It stands as a pivotal work in the transition from traditional to modern art, marking the culmination of Manet's exploration of the complexities of social life and visual perception in the rapidly changing urban landscape of 19th-century Paris.
