A Studio at Les Batignolles
Henri Fantin-Latour · 1870
The story
A Studio at Les Batignolles (French: Un Atelier aux Batignolles) is an oil-on-canvas painting by French Impressionist painter and lithographer Henri Fantin-Latour, created in 1870. It depicts the Batignolles Group at the studio of Édouard Manet in the Batignolles Quarter. The painting was exhibited at the Salon in Paris in 1870.
A Studio at Les Batignolles is the companion piece to a work created six years earlier by Fantin-Latour, Homage to Delacroix, which was done as a tribute to the Romantic painter who had died a year earlier. The two paintings are meant to represent friendship and partisanship among the painters. In contrast to the earlier work, the leading figure in A Studio is Édouard Manet.
The work was acquired by the Musée d'Orsay in 1986, and it remains there today.
