In the Conservatory by Édouard Manet

In the Conservatory (1879)

Édouard Manet | Impressionism | Oil on canvas

A fashionable couple relaxes in a beautiful glass greenhouse filled with lush plants. The woman sits on a bench while the man leans over, and they seem to be having a private conversation among the green leaves.

Did you know? The couple were real friends of Manet: Jules Guillemet and his wife, who ran a fashion shop in Paris. Their rings show they were married! Manet painted them in a glass conservatory that belonged to another painter, and he used it as his studio for about nine months. In 1896 a Berlin museum bought this painting (and one by Monet), becoming the first museum in the world to buy Impressionist art.
