A Bar at the Folies-Bergere, 1882 by Edouard Manet - one of the most well-known paintings in the Courtaud Gallery, London.
Considered to be Manet's last major work. It was painted in 1882 and exhibited at the Paris Salon of that year. It depicts a scene in the Folies Bergère nightclub in Paris.
There has been much speculation as to why the reflection in the mirror appears to be at odds with the viewpoint of the artist.
I photographed pretty much all of the impressionist paintings in the gallery a few years ago, using a Nikon Df: small and easy to carry, I still rely on this somewhat quirky camera in situations where there isn't much light but you can't use flash. It is still one of the best low light/ high ISO cameras around (the main reason I bought it!).
The gallery is currently closed for major work. I'll upload some more images in due course.
