1878, Édouard Manet, The Rue Mosnier with Flags -- Getty Museum (Los Angeles)
From the museum label: This painting depicts the rue Mosnier in Paris as Manet saw it from his studio window on June 30, 1878, a French national holiday. By contrasting the patriotic decorations on a prosperous avenue with a disabled veteran, the artist called attention to inequities in contemporary French society. The urban subject, bright colors, and bold, fluid brushwork reflect the influence of Manet's Impressionist counterparts.
