Manet paints beer

Édouard Manet seems to have loved beer.

Or at least loved seeing people drinking beer.





His paintings also include other beverages.
 

I'm home for a while and back to thinking about famous painters and how they depicted various subjects. Somehow my ramblings led me to Manet, and I realized  how he seemed to love to paint café scenes including waitresses, waiters, and people drinking beer. These are some that I've found, which I dedicate to the weekly celebration of beverages at Elizabeth's blog.

  7. Oh Mae, Manet is one of my favorite artists. I love how he blurred the lines of realism in his attempt to help start the Impressionist movement. He was a genius and I am thrilled you showed the paintings he created of patron drinking beer and other spirits. I think the Bar at the Follies scene was his last great work, if I'm correct (next to last painting shown above). Thanks for sharing these with us for T this Tuesday. I love seeing his art any time I visit a large museum.

  11. We're having a heatwave so most people would enjoy a glass of cold beer. Me, I'd rather have a glass of that champagne. Happy T Day!

  12. I think Manet just loved having a drink himself and frequented bars and cafes. I love the painting of the couple sitting at the table and another man standing in the distance watching longingly. Every picture tells a story.
    Happy T-Day,
    Hugs,
