σύμβολον δ’ οὔ πώ τις ἐπιχθονίων πιστὸν ἀμφὶ πράξιος ἐσσομένας εὗρεν θεόθεν, τῶν δὲ μελλόντων τετύφλωνται φραδαί

Pindar

No mortal has ever discovered a faithful sign of things to come from the gods: we are blind to the future.

MWW Artwork of the Day (7/5/22) Édouard Manet (French, 1832-1883) Music in the Tuileries Garden (1862)   Oil on canvas, 76 x 118 cm. National Gallery, London

This highly important picture has justifiably been described as ‘the earliest true example of modern painting in both subject matter and technique’.  Manet’s painting, with its focus on the look of modern life, including contemporary high fashion (both women’s and men’s), was a response to Baudelaire’s call for images of transient beauty within contemporary urban life. As the writer Emile Zola noted, ‘each figure is a little patch, hardly formed.’ Manet’s technique is sketchy and allusive, and the brushwork visible. He constructed the picture as a mass of dabs and touches of colour, without half-tones or chiaroscuro, which register the discontinuous glimpses and glances through which people experienced modern life.

For a comprehensive look at Manet's work, see this MWW gallery/album: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.366559166782792&type=3
