| book description |

The extraordinary story behind Manetâ€™s portrait of his only pupil Eva GonzalÃ¨s, placed within the broader context of women painters of the period Edouard Manet (1832â€“1883) only ever had one formal pupil, Eva GonzalÃ¨s (1849â€“1883). The daughter of a prominent writer, she entered Manetâ€™s studio aged 19. He portrayed her the year they met and exhibited the ambitious full-length portrait at the Paris Salon of 1870, at which GonzalÃ¨s also displayed her own work, for the first time, to positive reviews. The first in a new series of Discover titles, in which a single work of art in the National Galleryâ€™s collection is reconsidered from a fresh perspective, this book reveals the extraordinary story behind Manetâ€™s portrait by examining it in the context of womenâ€™s artistic practice in nineteenth-century Paris, GonzalÃ¨sâ€™s development as a professional painter, and Manetâ€™s career in 1870. Combining new art historical research with engaging essays on women artists and their representation in visual culture, Discover Manet & Eva GonzalÃ¨s provides a richly illustrated, in-depth study of Manetâ€™s portrait and offers a groundbreaking viewpoint on both artists.
