EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Boy Sword 1861" by Édouard Manet showcases the artistic brilliance of the renowned French painter. The oil canvas measures an impressive 51 5/8 x 36 3/4 inches (131.1 x 93.4 cm), making it a significant piece in Manet's collection. The subject of this painting is none other than Manet's stepson, Léon Koëlla Leenhoff, who was just ten years old at the time. In this carefully posed picture, young Léon is dressed in a seventeenth-century costume, adding an air of historical charm to the composition. To further enhance the authenticity, Manet includes a period sword as a prop tribute to his admiration for great Spanish painters like Velázquez. Manet's attention to detail and masterful brushstrokes are evident in every stroke of this artwork. Through his unique style and technique, he manages to capture both innocence and strength in Léon's expression as he holds onto the sword with determination. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Artokoloro's Liszt Collection, we are transported back to Paris in 1861 when this masterpiece was created. It serves as a testament not only to Manet's exceptional talent but also to his ability to immortalize moments through art that continue to captivate viewers even after centuries have passed.
