EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic masterpiece "Monsieur and Madame Edouard Manet" by Edgar Degas. Painted between 1868-69, this oil on canvas artwork measures 65.2x71.1 cm and is currently housed in the Municipal Museum of Art in Kitakyushu, Japan. The painting depicts a couple, identified as Monsieur and Madame Edouard Manet, reclining on a sofa. However, what makes this portrait truly intriguing is the deliberate obscuring of their faces. The artist's decision to hide their identities adds an air of mystery to the composition. Suzanne Leenhoff (1830-1906) and her husband Édouard Manet (1832-83) are believed to be the subjects of this piece. Their relationship remains somewhat elusive due to conflicting historical accounts surrounding their connection. As part of the impressionist movement, Degas skillfully captures light and color in his brushstrokes, creating a sense of depth and texture that brings life to the scene. The soft hues used for clothing contrast beautifully with the dark tones of the sofa upholstery. This print allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate Degas' artistic prowess while pondering over the hidden identities within this mesmerizing portrait. It serves as a reminder that even without fully revealing one's face, art has an incredible power to evoke emotions and ignite curiosity within its viewers.
