EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edouard Manet's masterpiece, "Le Saumon" created in 1864. The oil on canvas painting measures 71.8x89.9 cm and is housed at the Shelburne Museum in Vermont, USA. The composition depicts a scene of exquisite still life, where a magnificent silver and pink salmon rests upon a platter with knife and fork nearby. A blue and white Chinese bowl containing a lemon takes center stage, accompanied by two additional bowls beside it. Against the dark background stand a green bottle, an Italian wine bottle, and an elegant goblet. Manet's attention to detail is evident as he masterfully captures the textures of each element within this arrangement. The brilliant white cloth upon which these objects are set adds to the overall visual impact of the artwork. Through this painting, Manet invites viewers into his world of impressionism, showcasing his ability to capture light and color with remarkable precision. The play between light and shadow creates depth within the composition while highlighting each object's unique characteristics. "Le Saumon" not only celebrates culinary delights but also serves as a testament to Manet's artistic prowess in portraying everyday subjects with extraordinary beauty. This timeless piece continues to captivate audiences worldwide with its harmonious blend of colors, textures, and meticulous attention to detail.
