Manet made this drawing in preparation for an etching. The central figure’s contours have been incised for transfer to the copper plate. The use of red chalk – unusual by the mid-nineteenth century – and the time-honoured subject of the female bather reveal Manet’s engagement with predecessors such as Rembrandt, whose works he admired. This preliminary drawing shows him experimenting with the position and pose of the figure behind the bather. Traces of his initial ideas are visible at uppManeter left.

This celebrated work is Édzܲ Manet’s last major painting, completed a year before he died, and exhibited in 1882 at the Salon (the official annual exhibition of the French Academy of Fine Arts). This would have been a startling painting for Salon visitors in many ways, not least because it seems to follow the traditional format of portraiture but does not name its subject. Indeed, the barmaid appears as just another item in the enticing array on offer in the foreground: wine, champagne, peppermint liqueur and British Bass beer, with its iconic red triangle logo.

The background shows a fashionable crowd mingling on the balcony, entertained by musical and circus acts below. In the top left, a trapeze artist in green boots adds to the excitement. This animated scene is in fact a reflection in the large gold-framed mirror, which projects it into the viewer’s own space.

Opened a decade or so earlier, the DZ-è had rapidly become one of most popular music halls and places of entertainment in Paris. Manet frequented it with friends and made sketches on site. However, the final work was painted entirely in his studio, where a barmaid named Suzon came to pose. She is the painting’s still centre. Her enigmatic expression is unsettling, especially as she appears to be interacting with a male customer who is shown in the mirror. Ignoring normal perspective, Manet has shifted their reflection to the right. The bottles on the left are similarly misaligned in the mirror. This play of reflections emphasises the disorientating atmosphere of the bustling DZ-è. In A Bar at the DZ-è, Manet created a complex, absorbing composition and one of the iconic paintings of modern life.

The Courtauld’s much-loved permanent collection includes paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture and decorative arts ranging from the Renaissance through to the 20th century.

The Gallery is renowned for its remarkable group of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings, including the world-famous A Bar at the Folies Bergère by Édzܲ Manet, Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear by Vincent van Gogh and the most significant collection of works by Cézanne in the UK. These masterpieces are presented in 91ԹGallery’s spectacular LVMH Great Room, one of the largest spaces in Somerset House, alongside works by artists including Degas, Gauguin, Monet, Renoir, Seurat and more.

The Blavatnik Fine Rooms, spanning the Piano Nobile across the whole of the second floor, provide the stunning setting for displaying works from the Renaissance to the 18th century. Highlights include Adam and Eve by Lucas Cranach the Elder, The Family of Jan Bruegel the Elder and The Descent From The Cross by Peter Paul Rubens, The Trinity with Saints altarpiece by Sandro Botticelli, and Landscape with a flight into Egypt by Pieter Bruegel the Elder.

The Ruddock Family Gallery is dedicated to The Courtauld’s important collection of Medieval and Early Renaissance paintings and decorative arts. Rooms devoted to 20th century art and the Bloomsbury Group also showcase lesser-known areas of the collection through rotating displays.

Course 14 – Summer School on campus

Monday 30 June – Friday 4 July 2025
Dr Charlotte de Mille
£645

Course description

For the French art historian and critic Louis Gonse, “Manet [was] a point of departure, the symptomatic precursor of a revolution”. For Picasso, “Cézanne was like the father of us all”. But Manet himself stated that he had “no intention of overthrowing old methods of painting, or creating new ones”, and Cézanne’s later period as a recluse in Provence removed him from direct engagement with the younger generation.

This course explores the almost mythic quality with which artists and critics viewed Manet and Cézanne. It teases out points of continuity and innovation, addressing central topics of landscape, still life, materiality and representation, as well as less obvious connections, for example the musical soirées of the society Le Petit Bayreuth. The course ends with an examination of the legacies of both Manet and Cézanne, paying critical attention to Clement Greenberg’s famous description of Cézanne as “the gateway to contemporary painting”.

The Reworking Manet exhibition showcases a selection of outstanding works made by students aged 14 to 18 from across the UK. They are creative responses to Édzܲ Manet’s famous painting A Bar at the DZ-è (1882) in the Courtauld Gallery. These reworkings explore a wealth of themes drawn from the painting and seek to raise important issues in our everyday lives.

Visit the Reworking Manet exhibition in The Project Space at 91ԹGallery between 18 Oct 2023 – 18 Feb 2024.

Live Brief

Édzܲ Manet’s A Bar at the DZ-è (1882) is considered his best work because it pushes at the boundaries of art and portraiture in many different ways, inviting the viewer to consider some powerful questions about Paris social life at the time and we want you to do the same in 2023.

We are really interested to see and hear your ideas about how this work connects with our social lives and values now. Whether you are an artist, writer, performer, designer, musician or historian, 91Թwould like you to research, interrogate and create a personal response to the painting in any media. You may work collaboratively, or independently to create a response.

By exploring aspects of the painting, from its materials and techniques, historical context and hidden meanings, we want you to draw out contemporary parallels and respond creatively to what you discover.

Creating your response

A response is not a copy of the original artwork but a completely new interpretation. We are looking for a personal response that interrogates a theme drawn from A Bar at the DZ-è and comments on contemporary issues you are passionate about. You might choose to focus on:

Biographical: Who was the artist? What was he trying to say?

Representation: Who are the figures within the painting? How are they represented, and why?

Society: What does the painting say about society then and now? What contemporary parallels can you draw?

Meaning: How did people engage with the painting at the time it was made? What do they say about it today?’

Four different images showing different personal interpretations of Manet's, A Bar at the DZ-è

Tool Kit

We invited contemporary artist to collaborate with a group of young people tasked with creating an artwork for The Courtauld’s new Leon Kossoff Learning Centre. Jeremy chose Manet’s A Bar at the DZ-è as their starting point.

We have created a resource using examples of the project to support your research and inspire your creative response to the painting.

Édzܲ Manet’s A Bar at the DZ-è (1882) is considered his best work because it pushes at the boundaries of art and portraiture in many different ways, inviting the viewer to consider some powerful questions about Paris social life at the time.

This opening webinar will introduce attendees to Édzܲ Manet’s famous painting, A Bar at the DZ-è, briefly highlighting aspects of the artwork and discussing the impact the painting had within Paris in 1882.

The webinar will also introduce attendees to the concept of a response – presenting new interpretations of an artwork.

Finally, the session will launch Reworking Manet, a live brief for state school students aged 14-18, which asks participants to research, interrogate and create a personal response to the painting in any media.

Our Introducing Reworking Manet Live Brief (and what is a response) workshop will take place online on Tuesday 7th February 2023 and will be led by artist Toya Walker.

Please note this is a repeat of the webinar which originally took place on Wednesday 18th January. Bookings are open.
