The Bar at the Folies- Bergére

Édouard Manet made many visits to the Louvre Museum in Paris to further develop his interest in art. A trip to Spain inspired him to paint scenes of real life similar to the Spanish painter, Diego Velázquez. The Bar at the Folies-Bergere pays tribute to Frenchmen for building the great city of Paris using an allegory of wines of France.
