A Bar at the Folies-Bergère
Édouard Manet1882Oil on canvas
Manet's last major work depicts a barmaid at the famous Paris cabaret. The complex mirror reflection and cool, detached palette make it one of the most discussed paintings of the 19th century.
Color Mood
Cool and detached. The palette creates emotional distance — glittering surfaces concealing inner isolation.
