About the piece
Painted in 1868, Édouard Manet's 'The Balcony' is a masterpiece of early Impressionism, featuring Berthe Morisot, Fanny Claus, and Antoine Guillemet. The composition is celebrated for its daring use of flat color and the vivid green of the ironwork, which provides a stark geometric frame for the luminous figures set against a deep, mysterious background.
