Emile Zola

Artist: Edouard Manet (French, 1832 - 1883)

Date: 1868

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Musée d'Orsay, Paris, France

Description

On the wall is a reproduction of Manet's Olympia, a painting which sparked a fierce scandal at the 1865 Salon but which Zola held to be Manet's best work. Behind it is an engraving from Velazquez's Bacchus indicating the taste for Spanish art shared by the painter and the writer. A Japanese print of a wrestler by Utagawa Kuniaki II completes the décor. The Far East, which revolutionized ideas on perspective and colour in European painting, played a central role in the advent of the new style of painting. A Japanese screen on the left of the picture recalls this.

Zola is seated at his work table. He is holding a book, probably Charles Blanc's L'Histoire des peintres frequently consulted by Manet. An inkwell and a quill on the desk symbolize the writer's occupation.

A Rainy Evening

Thank you to everyone who came to the stream yesterday! I had a lot of fun working on this piece both during and after, and the style experimentation made this one really pop. Be sure to click in and zoom to see all the lovely texture from the brush I used, because that's the best part imo :D

Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin (French, ) • The Monkey Painter • 1739-1740

Although not a self-portrait in the true sense, I'm including it here because it's so fascinating. The monkey is the artist as subject, gazing away from the canvas at what is perhaps the subject it is painting.

Firstly, there is the Rococo era's obsession with paintings of monkeys. Called Singerie, it is a French term describing visual arts depicting monkeys engaged in human activities. It was at the height of its popularity in mid 18th century France. It is said that even Madame de Pompadour succumbed to the monkey craze!

Secondly, this work serves as a commentary on the state of art and artists in French society at the time. Chardin was a member of the French Royal Academy, yet he was critical of the academy's narrow-minded attitudes toward what was considered art worthy of its stamp of approval. This archaic focus begged the question – does the Royal Academy want artists that can think critically, or does it simply want imitators of their narrow rules? Hence, a monkey can be trained to paint but a true artist analyzes and discerns myriad aspects of their subjects.

Pierre-Louis de Surugue (French, 1716–1772) • The Monkey Antiquarian • 1743 • after Jean-Baptiste Siméon Chardin

The Monkey Painter and the print above were frequently reproduced. The caption here translates: "In the obscure maze of ancient monuments Why, learned man, do you put yourself to so much trouble? For truly philosophical eyes, our century Provides enough to keep one busy."
