"Le Chanteur Espagnol (le Guitarero) (g. 16; H. 12)" is a notable painting by the French artist Édouard Manet, created in 1860. This work is significant as it marks one of Manet's early forays into the realm of Spanish-themed subjects, a motif that would recur throughout his career. The painting depicts a Spanish singer, or "guitarero," seated with a guitar, exuding a sense of romanticism and exoticism that was highly fashionable in 19th-century France.

Manet's fascination with Spanish culture was influenced by his admiration for the works of Spanish masters such as Diego Velázquez and Francisco Goya. This influence is evident in the bold use of color, the dramatic lighting, and the realistic yet expressive portrayal of the subject. The singer is dressed in traditional Spanish attire, complete with a wide-brimmed hat and a sash, which adds to the authenticity and allure of the scene.

The composition of "Le Chanteur Espagnol" is both dynamic and intimate. The singer's posture and the positioning of the guitar draw the viewer's eye towards the center of the canvas, creating a focal point that emphasizes the musician's presence and the instrument's significance. The background is rendered in a loose, almost impressionistic style, which contrasts with the detailed depiction of the figure, highlighting Manet's skill in balancing different artistic techniques.

This painting was exhibited at the Salon of 1861, where it garnered attention and established Manet as a rising talent in the Parisian art scene. Despite mixed reviews from critics, who were divided over his unconventional style, the work was praised for its boldness and originality. "Le Chanteur Espagnol" is now considered an important piece in Manet's oeuvre, reflecting his early experimentation and his enduring impact on the development of modern art.
