Chez Tortoni is a painting by the French artist Édouard Manet, created around 1875. This artwork is known for its depiction of a man seated at a table in the famous Café Tortoni in Paris, a popular meeting place for artists, writers, and intellectuals during the 19th century. The café was renowned for its vibrant atmosphere and became a symbol of Parisian culture.

In the painting, the man is elegantly dressed, wearing a top hat and holding a pencil, suggesting he might be sketching or writing. The table is adorned with a glass of beer and a piece of paper, adding to the casual yet sophisticated ambiance. Manet's use of light and shadow, along with his loose brushwork, captures the essence of the café's lively environment.

Manet, a pivotal figure in the transition from Realism to Impressionism, often explored themes of modern life in his work. Chez Tortoni reflects his interest in contemporary Parisian society and his ability to portray it with a sense of immediacy and intimacy. The painting is characterized by its subtle color palette and the artist's attention to detail, which brings the scene to life.

The artwork gained additional notoriety due to its mysterious disappearance. It was part of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum's collection in Boston until it was stolen in 1990 during a notorious art heist. Despite extensive investigations, the painting remains missing, contributing to its intrigue and the ongoing fascination with Manet's work.

Chez Tortoni exemplifies Manet's skill in capturing the spirit of his time, offering a glimpse into the social and cultural dynamics of 19th-century Paris. The painting continues to be celebrated for its artistic merit and its role in the broader narrative of art history.
