Painting Description
"M. and Mme Auguste Manet" is an oil painting by the French modernist artist Édouard Manet, completed in 1860. The painting is a double portrait of the artist's parents, Auguste Manet, a judge at the Tribunal de commerce in the Paris Bourse, and Eugénie-Désirée Fournier, the daughter of a diplomat. The work is significant as it provides a personal glimpse into the family life of Manet, who was one of the pivotal figures in the transition from Realism to Impressionism.
The painting measures 111.5 by 91 cm and is part of the collection at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. In this portrait, Manet's father is depicted seated, reading a newspaper, while his mother sits beside him, engaged in needlework. The composition reflects the conventions of portraiture of the time, with a focus on the dignified representation of the sitters and an emphasis on their social status and domestic life. However, Manet's loose brushwork and the candid portrayal of his parents also hint at the artist's innovative approach to painting, which would later become more pronounced in his works.
"M. and Mme Auguste Manet" is notable for its intimate portrayal of the artist's family, set against the backdrop of 19th-century Parisian society. The painting is a testament to Manet's skill in capturing the character and presence of his sitters, as well as his ability to blend traditional techniques with emerging artistic styles. This work remains an important piece within Manet's oeuvre, offering insight into his early artistic development and the personal relationships that shaped his life and work.
