Bouquet of flowers

"Bouquet of flowers" by Édouard Manet, created in 1882 in Paris, France, exemplifies his mastery of oil painting and his interest in capturing everyday subjects. Although the title emphasizes a still life of a bouquet, the artwork also reflects elements of Impressionism through its loose brushwork and emphasis on light. The piece features a vibrant arrangement of flowers, rendered with a sensitive handling of canvas. Manet’s work bridges traditional still life and modern approaches, highlighting his influence on the evolution of modern art.
