Painting in Context: Éduard Manet, Music in the Tuileries, Protagonists
This presentation identifies the members of the Parisian high society gathered in the Tuileries Gardens to socialize and listen to a concert. Basic information is given for each protagonist.
This 19th-century painting is not a casual snapshot of the Sunday afternoon in a park. The seemingly haphazardly depicted throng of music lovers is in actual fact a select choice of illustrious members of the Parisian bourgeois and cultural world and Manet’s family.
