From the museum label: Manet summered at Gennevilliers in 1874, often spending time with Monet and Renoir across the Seine at Argenteuil, where Boating was painted. In this scene of outdoor leisure, he not only adopted the lighter touch and palette of his younger Impressionist colleagues but also borrowed the broad planes of color, strong diagonals, high vantage point, and close cropping typical of Japanese prints. Rodolphe Leenhoff, the artist's brother-in-law, is thought to have posed for the sailor, but the identity of the woman is uncertain. Manet exhibited this painting at the Salon of 1879.

From the museum label: The model for this painting, Léon-Édouard Koëlla (known as Léon Leenhoff), posed frequently for Manet, appearing in eighteen works. He was the son of Suzanne Leenhoff, who married Manet in 1863. Here, the artist dressed him in a seventeenth-century costume, adding a period sword as a prop - a tribute to the great Spanish painters he admired, notably Velázquez. Critics reviewed the work favorably on the five occasions that Manet exhibited it between 1862 and 1872. When The Met accepted this painting and Young Lady in 1866 as a gift in 1889, they became the first works by Manet to enter a museum collection.

From the museum label: Around 1864-65, Manet became obsessed with the theme of the racecourse. With its animated use of the lithographic crayon, this print distills the energy and excitement of a composition he worked out in oil paint in The Races at Longchamp, shown nearby, and in watercolor. Like the paintings, the print is distinctive for its dramatic departure from the traditional lateral view of the race in favor of a radically foreshortened frontal view of the horses galloping directly toward the viewer.

Edouard Manet (1879).
The first time I visited Oslo in the summer of 2017, I went to a handful of museums: The Munch Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the National Gallery of Norway (because they have the original of The Scream, though you'd think that would be at the Munch), the Astrup Fearnley Museum, even the Mini Bottle Gallery. That's a niche museum...of mini bottles. (Surprisingly worth the visit, too, though I didn't go back this time -- just walked by it. Pressed for time.)
I also went to the Kon-Tiki Museum, Fram Museum, Vikingskipshuset, and the Norsk Folkemuseum across the fjord in Bygdoy -- reachable by ferry. The Bygdoy museums are all worth a day trip, too. Very enjoyable, each one. (The Viking Ship Museum is temporarily closed, though, and that -- along with enough time -- was also enough to keep me from heading out there this trip.
As a bonus, there are also two outstanding sculpture parks in Oslo: Ekebergparken on the south end of downtown and Frognerparken (its official name, but also known as Vigelandsparken) on the north end of downtown. Oh...and Oslo has statues, monuments, sculptures all around town. I think I saw somewhere there are about 600 different sculptures around town, but I could be completely remembering that wrong. The point is...Oslo is a darned fine place to come if you love art. The museums charge admission, but the sculpture parks and sculptures around town are all free.
Fast forward 6.5 years, and I find myself back in town. The museum scene changed. A good number of those museums have merged. In 2017, they were in separate locations.
The Munch (hasn't merged -- just moved) is now on the waterfront next to the Opera House. Others have merged.
In 2003, the National Museum was established by merging the Museum of Architecture, the Museum of Industrial Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Museum of Decorative Arts and Design, and the National Gallery of Art into one large building. Though this happened in 2003, none of them had moved by 2017. In 2022, they finally all moved under one roof in the new National Museum of Art, Architecture, and Design...or Nasjonalmuseet. The building is located on the edge of Radhusplassen, behind the Nobel Peace Prize Museum in a large space that makes for a great half day to day visit.
The Rue Mosnier with Flags
1878
Edouard Manet
French, 1832-1883
Oil on canvas
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.
From the museum label: Manet never exhibited this painting, and no record of its original title or date has been discovered. It was listed in his studio as Mexican Woman, sold in the sale of Degas's collection as Indian Woman, and has been associated with a group of works that Manet titled The Gypsies. The painting most likely reflects the contemporary fascination with Spanish culture and may have been inspired by Georges Bizet's opera Carmen, about a woman who worked in a cigarette factory, which premiered in Paris in 1875.
