"Lola de Valence" is a notable painting by the French artist Édouard Manet, created in 1862. This work is a striking example of Manet's early style and his interest in contemporary subjects, as well as his innovative approach to composition and color. The painting depicts a Spanish dancer named Lola Melea, who was part of a troupe that performed in Paris during the mid-19th century. Manet's fascination with Spanish culture is evident in this work, reflecting the broader European fascination with exoticism and the allure of the "other" during this period.

In "Lola de Valence," Manet captures the dancer in a moment of poised elegance, dressed in a traditional Spanish costume with a voluminous, ruffled skirt and a lace mantilla. The background is relatively plain, which serves to highlight the figure of Lola and her vibrant attire. Manet's use of light and shadow, as well as his bold brushstrokes, contribute to the dynamic quality of the painting, making Lola appear almost lifelike.

The painting was first exhibited at the Salon of 1863, where it garnered both admiration and controversy. Critics were divided; some praised Manet's modern approach and his departure from academic conventions, while others were scandalized by what they perceived as the painting's provocative nature. The controversy was further fueled by a poem written by Charles Baudelaire, a close friend of Manet, who praised the painting in a manner that some found to be overly sensual.

"Lola de Valence" is now housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where it continues to be a subject of study and admiration. The painting is often discussed in the context of Manet's broader oeuvre and his role in the transition from Realism to Impressionism. It exemplifies his ability to blend traditional techniques with modern subjects, paving the way for future generations of artists.
