Courtauld 02-1 Edouard Manet - A Bar at the Folies-Bergere  [4 of 15]


2. Edouard Manet - A Bar at the Folies-Bergere. 1881-2, 96 x 130 cm. This painting was voted #3 in the 2005 BBC Greatest Painting in Britain Poll. It shows the interior of one of the most fashionable cafe-concerts in Paris. Manet distorts the mirror image - the barmaid is separated too far from her reflection; the customer with a bowler hat and cane is shown in the reflection close to the barmaid, and the placing of the bottles in the reflection does not correspond to their position on the bar in the foreground.
