Color Magic
On the Italian Riviera, the Gulf of Genoa, is the little town of Noli. From Saint-Tropez, Paul Signac hiked there in 1896. Inspired by the beauty and the colour magic of the landscape, he started two years later on work for this picture, re-porting: "In order to spur myself on, I use patterns of dyed silk, which are so colour-intensive, so glossy. One after the other, I implement in my picture. I (...) would like to take every corner of the canvas to the utmost extreme in terms of colour." The master achieved his goal: a radiant colourfulness conjures up a shimmering ensemble of light and air, water and matter.

Portrait of Monsieur and Madame Manet (1860) by Édouard Manet, a deeply personal and stylistically conservative work that marked his debut at the Paris Salon.
This double portrait depicts Manet’s parents: Auguste Manet, a retired judge, and Eugénie Désirée Fournier, seated side by side in a quiet, domestic setting. Manet painted it in a sober, academic style, with dark tones and restrained brushwork—likely influenced by Spanish masters like Velázquez and Goya, whom Manet admired. The composition is formal, almost austere, with little ornamentation, reflecting both the bourgeois dignity of the sitters and the conventions of mid-19th-century portraiture.
Though it lacks the radical flair of Manet’s later works, this painting was accepted by the Salon of 1861, shown alongside The Spanish Singer, which signaled his emerging interest in modern life and painterly innovation.
The portrait remained in the family for decades, passing from Manet’s brother Eugène to Julie Manet, daughter of Berthe Morisot, before being donated to the French state in 1977. It now hangs in the Musée d'Orsay.
