''A Bunch of Asparagus'' is an oil painting by the French artist Édouard Manet, completed in 1880. The work is renowned for its simple yet revolutionary composition, which reflects Manet's transition from Realism to Impressionism. The painting depicts a single bunch of asparagus laid diagonally across a dark background, with the vegetables rendered in lush, varied shades of green and white, showcasing Manet's virtuosity in handling light and texture.

The painting was originally commissioned by the well-known art collector Charles Ephrussi, who had agreed to pay 800 francs for a painting of asparagus by Manet. Upon receiving the work, Ephrussi was so pleased that he sent Manet 1,000 francs instead. In a playful response, Manet sent Ephrussi a smaller painting of a single asparagus stalk with a note saying, "There was one missing from your bunch." This anecdote has become part of the lore surrounding the painting, illustrating the rapport between artist and patron as well as Manet's wit and confidence in his art.

''A Bunch of Asparagus'' is often celebrated for its departure from traditional still life subjects and compositions of the time. Manet's choice to isolate the subject and the absence of additional contextual elements focus the viewer's attention on the asparagus itself, making it a subject worthy of contemplation. The painting's loose brushwork and the interplay of light and shadow are characteristic of the Impressionist movement, of which Manet is sometimes considered an important forerunner, despite his somewhat independent style.

Today, ''A Bunch of Asparagus'' is held in the collection of the Wallraf-Richartz Museum in Cologne, Germany, and remains a significant work in the study of Manet's oeuvre, marking the artist's innovative approach to the genre of still life and his broader contributions to the development of modern art.
