Henri Fantin-Latour - A Studio at Les Batignolles [1870]

The work portrays Édouard Manet sitting at his easel, with Zacharie Astruc sitting at his side, Otto Scholderer, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, wearing a hat, Émile Zola, with glasses in hand, Edmond Maître, Frédéric Bazille, with tartan trousers, and Claude Monet.

 

The Batignolles Group (Le groupe des Batignolles) was a group of young avant-garde painters from the end of the 19th century who gathered around Édouard Manet. The group bears its name in reference to the Batignolles district, where the artists used to meet between 1869 and 1875. Many of the artists in the group later became known for the Impressionism movement.
