Impressionism: Le Quiz! – The New York Times
“Impression, Sunrise,” 1872
Manet painted “Still Life with Melon and Peaches” (left) around 1866. Monet, eight years younger, painted his own “Still Life with Melon” (right) roughly four years later, around 1872.
Despite multiple rejections from France’s official annual Salon, Manet declined to show his work alongside Monet and the other Impressionists at their renegade Société Anonyme.
In “Woman with a Parasol, Madame Monet and Her Son,” 1875 (left), Monet painted his wife Camille with their young son, Jean, on a hill.
“Jeanne (Spring),” 1881 (right), depicts Jeanne Demarsy, an aspiring actress, who posed for Manet in the studio.
“The Dance Class,” 1873
Monet painted Camille, his first wife, at least 30 times, including in “Meditation. Madame Monet on the Sofa,” c. 1871 (left) and on her deathbed in 1879.
“Madame Manet at the Piano,” 1868 (right) shows Manet’s wife and former piano teacher, Suzanne.
