What Was She Thinking?
A crowded Parisian music hall. Glittering chandeliers. Champagne flowing. And at the center of it all, a barmaid named Suzon, seemingly lost in thought.
Is she bored? Lonely? Exhausted? Melancholy? Or is there something more behind the distant gaze? In his 1882 masterpiece, Bar au Folies-Bergère, Édouard Manet gives us a painting filled with intriguing details, mysterious reflections, and more questions than answers.
I used a slider to go deeper into this beautiful painting. I've never seen it in person, but I would love to visit it some day. I understand it is a fairly large painting (38 in by 51, 96 × 130 cm) housed in the Courtauld Gallery, where it is displayed in the LVMH Great Room (how appropriate).
