About the piece

Painted in 1862, Édouard Manet's 'Music in the Tuileries' is a landmark of early modernism, depicting the artist’s circle of friends and the social elite of Paris. The composition features a dense gathering of figures in black top hats and voluminous light-colored crinoline dresses, rendered with the loose, spontaneous brushwork that signaled the dawn of Impressionism.
