The Absinthe Drinker, Manet, 1859

A ragged man in a top hat, a glass at his side.

What

Édouard Manet's painting The Absinthe Drinker, 1859, from the Google Art Project.

Why

Manet painted a ragpicker with a glass of absinthe, a subject the Salon of 1859 rejected.

Notice

An empty bottle lies at his feet, the glass of green spirit sits on the ledge, and his brown cloak swallows him.

“The green hour seen from the gutter.”
