O obrazu

Manet painted The Melon around 1880; the still life is in Washington’s National Gallery of Art. A single ribbed fruit rests on a blue-grey tabletop, with a green stem curling across its yellow surface. Thick strokes follow the uneven rind. The brown background contains no other objects. Before entering Paul Mellon’s collection, the painting belonged to Max Liebermann and later to his daughter Käthe Riezler.

Celý životopis

1870s
Refuses to exhibit with the Impressionists
Although his own work influenced and anticipated the Impressionist style, Manet resisted involvement in Impressionist exhibitions: he did not wish to be seen as the representative of a group identity and held that modern artists should seek to exhibit at the Salon.
1879 · Bydliště
8th arrondissement of Paris
1879
The Salon warmly receives “In the Conservatory” and “In the Boat”
Only in 1879 did the Salon appreciate Manet's perseverance: his canvases “In the Conservatory” and “In the Boat” were received very warmly.
1879
The first attack of rheumatism and ataxia
In September 1879 Manet suffered his first acute attack of rheumatism; it soon turned out that he had ataxia, a disorder of movement coordination. The illness progressed rapidly and limited his creative possibilities.
1879
“The Execution of Maximilian” first shown in New York
In December 1879 the singer Émilie Ambre and her lover Gaston de Beauplan organised in New York the first exhibition of “The Execution of Emperor Maximilian”.
December 1881
The Légion d'honneur
In December 1881, at the recommendation of Antonin Proust, his childhood friend and the new minister, Manet was awarded the Légion d'honneur.
