"The 'Kearsarge' at Boulogne," Édouard Manet, 1864.

Y'all know Manet by now.

The USS Kearsarge was a Union ship in the American Civil War, which sank a Confederate raider, the CSS Alabama, at the famous Battle of Cherbourg on June 19, 1864, just off the coast of France. Many were able to watch the battle from the shore.

he Alabama had pulled into Cherbourg for repairs, and as it was in a neutral port, the Kearsarge simply waited out at sea, effectively blockading the ship. The Alabama eventually pulled out to attack, escorted by a French naval ship to ensure any battle occurred outside the harbor. The Union ship quickly sank the Alabama, and survivors were picked up by French boats and a private British yacht...which took their evacuees quickly to England.

Manet didn't witness the battle himself, but read accounts of it and saw the ship anchored. He did paint the battle, and later this portrait of the ship, along with some fishing boats; these were his first depictions of current events.

"Lemon," Édouard Manet, 1880.

Manet (1832-83) was a pivotal figure in Western art; he was the first real Modernist painter, in that he specialized in depictions of contemporary life. He was also an important figure in the transition from Realism to Impressionism.

Some of his works generated scandal and controversy, like the famous "Dejeuner sur l'Herbe" (a picnic scene with nude women), and "Olympia," in which a nude courtesan matter-of-factly confronts the viewer. Here, though, we have a subdued picture of something simple: a lemon.

In 1880 his health was in decline, due to late-stage syphilis, and he began focusing on small-scale still lifes. Rather than arranging many objects, he'd focus on one, or a grouping of one type of thing. Manet is reported as saying that "an artist can say all he has to say with flowers, fruit, and clouds" and this seems to click with that view. This is a good reminder that in something mundane and everyday, like a lemon, art can be found.

He completed one last major painting, the famous "Bar at the Folies Bergeres" in 1882, and up to his death the following year, painted small pictures of flowers in crystal vases.
