The Spanish Singer 1860 Edouard Manet French This painting, which reflects the Parisian vogue for Spanish art and culture during the Second Empire, won Manet his first popular and critical success in his debut at the Salon of 1861. Though the picture was admired for its realistic detail, Manet did not disguise the fact that it was composed in a studio using a model and props. The left-handed singer holds a guitar strung for a right-handed player, and his fingering suggests that he was unfamiliar with the instrument. His outfit was fashioned from costumes that Manet kept on hand; several accessories reappear in paintings in this gallery.

1899-65660525
Franz Hals (c. 15821666) was born in southern Netherlandswhat is today Belgium. A Dutch Golden Age painter, Hals is credited as a revolutionary in the field of portraiture. He was particularly know for the way he captured light and atmosphere. This painting by Halls in 1650 is titled Old Hille Bobbe, as well as Malle Babbe and The Witch of Haarlem (a city in the Netherlands). It shows an old, wrinkled dame that in seaport towns was called 'a sailor's mother.' She was a 'merry toper,' like many of Hals' companions, and went from tavern to tavern to get a drink. Her real name was Alle, or Alice Boll. The owl is probably the painter's skit of th screeching old hussy. The painting is quite remarkable for its poverty of color.
