Like Cézanne and Monet, whom he was to influence, Manet found in the obedient and ever-available still life a laboratory for experiments in colour. He transferred his discoveries to other compositions and, like Cézanne and Monet, he revealed a curious obsession with sparkling whiteness; he too wanted to paint tables set with white tablecloths "like a layer of freshly fallen snow", (Still life with Melon and Peaches, Washington D.C., National Gallery of Art).
