Peaches Edouard Manet Date: 1882; Paris, France * Style: Impressionism Genre: still life Media: oil, canvas Location: Private Collection
Still lifes represent almost one fifth of Manet's production, a much higher proportion than is the case with the other artists of the "New Painting" (with the exception of Fantin-Latour and Cezanne). Contemporary critics recognised their importance at once, whether their presence in a number of figure paintings of the 1860's – the bouquet in Olympia, the books, the lemon and the glass on the table in the Portrait of Zacharie Astruc (Bremen Kunsthalle) or the tray on the tabouret in the Portrait of Théodore Duret (Paris, Musée du Petit Palais) – or in the independent still life pictures the artist was to exhibit at the Galerie Martinet in 1865 and at his private exhibition of 1867, on the Avenue de l'Alma.
