More about this artwork

This striking portrait showcases Jean-Baptiste Faure, an illustrious baritone famed for his opera performances during the 19th century, as painted by the renowned French artist Édouard Manet between 1882 and 1883. Faure, who was also an avid art collector and a connoisseur of impressionist paintings, is depicted with a regal yet approachable demeanor.Manet's brushwork allows for an interplay of light and shadow that brings Faure’s features to life with vivid realism. The portrait is marked by soft, earthy tones that highlight the subject's thoughtful expression and the subtle details of his attire. With an understated elegance, Manet captures the essence of Faure’s character, his beard meticulously rendered and his gaze introspective, reflective of his deep connection to art and music.Set against a dimly lit, nondescript background, the focus is entirely on Faure's visage and the upper part of his body, particularly his light-colored jacket and dark tie, which suggest his professional and cultured persona.

Édouard Manet (1832–1883) was a French modernist painter and one of the first 19th century artists to paint modern life. His impressionist style is characterized by relatively small and thin brushstrokes that create emphasis on light depiction. Manet was one of the key artists in the transition from realism to impressionism, along with Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. However, he resisted involvement in any one specific style of painting, and only presented his work to the Salon of Paris instead of impressionist exhibitions. His early masterworks, The Luncheon on the Grass and Olympia, created great controversy and served as a rallying point for other young painters.
