"A Bar at the Folies-Bergère" | By Édouard Manet

$49.95

Two Drinks Away from Existential Crisis
Manet delivers Paris nightlife in full sparkle — oranges, absinthe, and a barmaid whose deadpan stare says “I’m not paid enough for this.” The mirror behind her doesn’t just reflect the crowd — it bends reality. Or maybe it’s the champagne talking.

    • The Master: Édouard Manet

    • Year Painted: 1882

    • Style: Realism meets Impressionism

    • Location Love: Folies-Bergère was the place to be seen in Paris — part music hall, part circus, part moral gray zone.

    • Barmaid Breakdown: The woman is modeled by Suzon, a real barmaid Manet brought to his studio. The painting wasn’t done on-site — this scene is a composite.

    • Optical Trickery: Look closely — the reflection behind her doesn’t quite add up. The man in the top hat is in the mirror, but not in front of her. Manet was playing with perspective like a visual riddle.

    • Approx. 23”W x 18.5”H

    • Large format, vibrant, high-quality print on durable, semi-rigid thermoplastic.
