MANET, Edouard
(b. 1832, Paris, d. 1883, Paris)

Girl in the Garden at Bellevue

1880
Oil on canvas, 92 x 70 cm
Private collection

At the beginning of the 1880s Manet turned to the lush summer delights of gardens at Bellevue and Rueil, bringing a quality of humble observation to his work. The sectional views he painted were limited at every side, as if his horizon were literally becoming invisible.
