Mary Laurent Édouard Manet (1832-1883)

Description of Eduard Manet’s painting Autumn

Édouard Manet was originally from Paris. His father was a high-ranking government official. The Beaux-Arts school in no way suited the artist’s sentiments, although his teacher was the renowned academic painter Tom Couture.

The master wanted his paintings to have real daylight. And he wished to paint about the real life that was bubbling around him. Because of his disagreements on this subject, there were quarrels and conflicts with his teachers. Eduard Manet’s paintings are filled with phantasmagoria of light and color. He can convey a crystal fluid sheen.

Make colors and lace glow. Rye the fruit. But most of all, he gives viewers a glimpse of the mysterious depth of the human soul. Especially passionately and enthusiastically he draws captivating images of girls. And this is always at the center of his work.

Edouard Manet has a special technique of mirror reflection, through which he can bifurcate the image he created in the picture. It seems that time has no power over this image, because it is in the passing life. This duality, a unique combination of instant and eternity, is one of the main features of the works of the artist Edouard Manet. He had an idea about writing a series of works devoted to the seasons. The characters were to be his four girlfriends. But it turned out only two paintings. They were spring and autumn. Allegory of spring and autumn are depicted in the paintings of the model.

In the painting "Autumn", the right to pose the great artist, it was given to Marie Laurent. In this work feels the fullness of life. When the viewer looks at this picture, he wants to live and create even more. He trained his sister-in-law Berthe Morisot and Eva Gonzalez, a French painter and graphic artist, as students. Manet was caught dead in Paris in 1883.
