Painted in 1862, Music in the Tuileries Garden (La Musique aux Tuileries) is widely celebrated by art historians as one of the very first masterpieces of modern painting. Depicting fashionable 19th-century Parisians enjoying a weekly outdoor concert in the Tuileries Gardens, Manet broke away from traditional academic storytelling to paint “the painting of modern life” championed by his close friend, the poet Charles Baudelaire. The canvas serves as a vibrant group portrait of Manet’s inner intellectual circle, featuring likenesses of Baudelaire, painter Henri Fantin-Latour, sculptor Albert-Bartholomé, poet Théophile Gautier, composer Jacques Offenbach, Manet’s brother Eugène, and a self-portrait of Manet on the far left. Preserved today in the National Gallery, London, this masterpiece’s loose, sketchy brushstrokes and brilliant outdoor lighting laid the absolute groundwork for the Impressionist movement.
