Mademoiselle V. . . in the Costume of an Espada

Mademoiselle V. . . in the Costume of an Espada

Artist: Edouard Manet (French, 1832–1883)

Original Dimensions: 65" x 50 1/4"

Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

About Artwork: (1862) "Manet depicted model Victorine Meurent (1844–1927) in the guise of a male espada, or matador, borrowing her pose from a Renaissance print. Victorine’s shoes are unsuitable for bullfighting, and the pink cape that she flourishes is the wrong hue, but she carries off her role with panache. The backdrop reproduces a scene from Goya’s Tauromaquia series celebrating the feats of bullfighters. When this painting was exhibited at the infamous Salon des Refusés of 1863, a commentator noted, "Manet loves Spain, and his favorite master seems to be Goya, whose vivid and contrasting hues, whose free and fiery touch he imitates."" - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
