Lilac In A Glass is a still-life painting created by Edouard Manet during the last years of his life. It’s a beautiful and captivating depiction of white lilacs inside as water glass. Even though the French painter marked Art History for his innovative preference for Modern themes, his disregard for naturalist principles, and focusing on depicting everyday scenes of the Parisian neighborhoods, Manet had a large production of still-life works as well. Among his other still-lifes are Bouquet of Violets, Oysters, A Bunch of Asparagus, and Branch Of White Peonies With Pruning Shears.
Edouard Manet is among the most important painters in Art History. Manet was from a wealthy family and had his education under an Academic artist, Thomas Couture, who was deeply admired during his time. It was Manet himself that insisted to his parents that he wished to attend his classes instead of joining the École des Beaux-Arts. While studying in Couture’s atelier, he was able to visit the Louvre to make sketches and studies of his favorite artworks.
Thomas Couture was entirely dedicated to Neo-Classical themes, putting historical painting at the top of the hierarchy of genres. This was strongly disturbing for Manet, who had no interest in such thematics or idealized painting notions. After six years in his atelier, Manet left after Couture made a commentary regarding one of his early paintings. Manet joined a friend and opened his own studio, where he developed his personal manner and went on to make history, while Couture is perceived today as the last breath of Academic painting.
Lilac In A Glass was painted by the French artist in his later years. Since 1879, he had partial paralysis on his body, and it was extremely difficult for him to leave his home. Not only did he start to make small-scale paintings because of his limited movement, but his interest in still-life, a genre he produced mainly during the 1860s, was sparked once again. Some of his most delicate paintings belong to this period. Unfortunately, the artist passed away in 1885.
Lilac In A Glass is a 54 × 42 cm picture. A considerable part of the background was painted in a deep black, a color that is characteristic of Manet’s manner. The palette he used is very strict, using black, white, green for the leaves and a purple-blue in the water’s reflection inside the glass. The flowers occupy almost the entire picture, and its petals glow, attracting the eye of the viewer.
