| Summary |
The art critic Januszczak introduces Manet's Le dejeuner sur l'herbe by explaining that in 1863, when it was painted, slavery was abolished in the United States, and the Red Cross founded in Switzerland. He then proceeds to speak about Edouard Manet's family, his father Auguste, who was a wealthy judge, and his mother, who came from an aristocratic background. Edouard Manet married a young woman, Suzanne Leenhoff, who joined the household as a piano teacher, and became pregnant with her son Leon in 1852. Manet married her in 1862, and it was assumed that Leon, whom he also portrayed in a number of famous works, was his son. But there were rumours that he was his father's son, and that Manet had done everything to maintain the respectability of his family. (From the UK, in English) (Masterpiece) |
