He took the Salon of 1864 by storm, but was barely noticed with 2 more paintings the following year. Why?
Manet
One dancer, three painters, four portraits of the dancer, and two portraits of Chase himself.
He built his career from scratch three times, but today is known for his paintings of fashionable women. There is more to his art than that.
With his Salon style and fascination in mediaeval history, did he make history painting history?
Manet’s remarkably early painting of a cyclist dates from 1871, but the Impressionists appear to have ignored the new kings of the road.
What do Bosch’s many owls signify? Wisdom, night, or something more sinister?
Railways and painting have been intertwined since 1844. Turner, Manet, Monet, van Gogh, and others show how.
Some of the Impressionists did paint (possibly) narrative works. But they didn’t always work out.
Conclusions: did he paint Impressions, and was he a member of the Impressionist group?
A noted critic and sculptor, a career painter, and an artist who became a local politician, with examples of their work.
