"The 'Kearsarge' at Boulogne," Édouard Manet, 1864.

Y'all know Manet by now.

The USS Kearsarge was a Union ship in the American Civil War, which sank a Confederate raider, the CSS Alabama, at the famous Battle of Cherbourg on June 19, 1864, just off the coast of France. Many were able to watch the battle from the shore.

he Alabama had pulled into Cherbourg for repairs, and as it was in a neutral port, the Kearsarge simply waited out at sea, effectively blockading the ship. The Alabama eventually pulled out to attack, escorted by a French naval ship to ensure any battle occurred outside the harbor. The Union ship quickly sank the Alabama, and survivors were picked up by French boats and a private British yacht...which took their evacuees quickly to England.

Manet didn't witness the battle himself, but read accounts of it and saw the ship anchored. He did paint the battle, and later this portrait of the ship, along with some fishing boats; these were his first depictions of current events.

Orgies, vampires and jewel-laden tortoises: it’s time we buried the myths of decadence in art https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2025/jan/21/orgies-vampires-tortoises-myths-decadence-art #MichelHouellebecq #CharlesBaudelaire #Artanddesign #ÉdouardManet #OscarWilde #Society #Culture #Books

"Portrait of Émile Zola," Edouard Manet, 1868.

Manet needs no introduction. But here we have one of the great stars of 19th century French letters, Emile Zola. Here he is painted at a time when he was still best known as an art critic and for his recently published novel "Thérèse Raquin."

Manet is a bit waggish here...on the wall behind the disorderly desk are a few small prints. One is of Manet's own controversial painting "Olympia," which Zola championed as Manet's best work. There's an etching from Velazquez's "Bacchus," referring to Manet and Zola's shared fondness for Spanish art. And a print of a Japanese wrestler by Utagawa Kuniyaki II, along with a Japanese screen, all point to the influence Japanese art had on the art culture of France at the time....which lent itself to the growing Impressionist movement.

He's also distracted, not really looking at us, lost in his own thoughts. He doesn't address the viewer at all, but is at work composing something in his head.

"Young Man in the Costume of a Majo," Edouard Manet, 1863.

Manet hardly needs an introduction. But here he paints his brother in the costume of a majo, or lower-class Spanish dandy. Majos and majas would dress in exaggerated versions of traditional Spanish dress (like that impossibly broad sash!), be well mannered but cheeky, and sometimes would pick fights with the "Frenchified" upper classes who were abandoning traditional Spanish styles.

Dressing up as a majo or maja was a thrill for upper-crust Spaniards, though; Goya would paint a number of portraits of noblewomen as majas. The maja image itself, with comb and mantilla, flouncy dress and fan, became so iconic that it outlasted the majo style and became a cliche in its own right. The majo, sadly, has been replaced with the bullfighter.

I love his pose, and that snazzy outfits as a whole...but these days folks would be puzzled by a majo outfit at Halloween...
