Édouard Manet was born in 1832.

A Bar at the Folies-Bergère is one of the masterpieces and was Manet’s last major painting, completed a year before he died.

🍺 The Folies-Bergère had rapidly become one of the most popular music halls and places of entertainment in Paris. Manet frequented it with friends and made sketches on site. However, the final work was painted entirely in his studio, where a barmaid named Suzon came to pose. She is the painting’s still centre. Her enigmatic expression is unsettling, especially as she appears to be interacting with a male customer who is shown in the mirror.

💐 Ignoring normal perspective, Manet has shifted their reflection to the right. The bottles on the left are similarly misaligned in the mirror. This play of reflections emphasises the disorientating atmosphere of the bustling Folies-Bergère. In A Bar at the Folies-Bergère, Manet created a complex, absorbing composition and one of the iconic paintings of modern life.

You can see this painting on display in our LVMH Great Room on the 3rd Floor of The Courtauld Gallery, and explore it on Google Arts and Culture.
