"Buveur d'absinthe" (Absinthe Drinker) is an early work by the renowned French painter Édouard Manet, created around 1859. This painting marks a significant point in Manet's career as it reflects his departure from traditional academic art and his movement towards modernism. The artwork depicts a solitary figure, a man seated with a glass of absinthe, a popular and controversial spirit of the time, known for its strong alcoholic content and association with bohemian culture.

The subject of the painting is thought to be a ragged, somewhat melancholic figure, embodying the social realities and the bohemian lifestyle of 19th-century Paris. Manet's choice to portray an absinthe drinker highlights his interest in contemporary urban life and the individuals who inhabited it. The painting's somber tones and loose brushwork are indicative of Manet's evolving style, which would later influence the Impressionists.

"Buveur d'absinthe" was not well-received when first exhibited, as its unconventional subject matter and style challenged the norms of the art establishment. Critics at the time were often harsh, finding the painting's realism and focus on a marginalized figure unsettling. However, this work is now appreciated for its boldness and is seen as a precursor to Manet's later masterpieces.

The painting is also notable for its composition and use of light, which Manet employed to create a sense of immediacy and presence. The figure's expression and posture convey a sense of introspection and detachment, inviting viewers to ponder the man's thoughts and circumstances.

Today, "Buveur d'absinthe" is recognized as an important work in Manet's oeuvre, illustrating his role as a pioneer of modern art. It is housed in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, where it continues to be studied and admired for its innovative approach and historical significance.
