"Le Bon Bock" (also known as "A Good Glass of Beer") or "Study of Émile Bellot" is a renowned painting by French artist Édou Manet, created in 1873. The artwork is an oil on canvas, measuring 102.2 by 86 cm, that is presently housed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The subject of the painting, Émileot, was an acquaintance of Manet and is depicted in an exuberant mood, enjoying a glass of ale and a pipe in a typical Parisian café setting.

Embedded with Manet's signature realism, these details create a compelling portrait of common life during the French Third Republic. Its title, "Le Bon Bock," is a direct reference to a type of beer (bock) popular during that time period in France.

As rare within Manet's oeuvre, "Le Bon Bock" is reflective of some distinct artistic influences in Manet's career. Despite his association with the Impressionists, this work delves into a more approachable and popular motif, echoing the Dutch Golden Age masters’ tradition of genre painting, particularly the works of Frans Hals. This is evoked through the robust use of black, an element Hals was known for, along with the significant emphasis on sharp lighting.

It received favorable public and critical reception when exhibited at the Salon of 1873. Its instant popularity can be partly owed to its deviation from Manet’s usual contentious and provocative subjects, instead appealing to a popular and national sentiment. This painting marks a departure for Manet, who was generally more known for his trend-setting and audacious style, pushing the boundaries of the art world of his time.

"Le Bon Bock" is not just a work of a master artist; it is a social document vividly capturing the signs, symbols, and everyday life of late 19th century France. It serves as an essential resource for understanding Manet's wider body of work, and the societal context within which he, and his contemporaries, worked and lived.
