One of the most important figures in Austrian nineteenth-century art, Waldmüller aspired to capture the truth of nature in his landscape paintings. Significant for his work both as an artist and influential teacher, Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller (1793–1865) was one of the most important figures in Austrian nineteenth-century art. He was dedicated to capturing a true and unidealised impression of nature through his landscapes. From the great trees in Vienna’s Prater Park to the forests and peaks of the Salzkammergut region, and the hills and ruins of Sicily, Waldmüller’s breathtaking paintings are rendered with a photographic clarity, limpid light and intense colour. An introductory essay considers the artist’s work and career as an influential teacher, during which he championed study from nature. A second text focuses on the painter’s landscapes, exploring how Waldmüller’s engagement with nature forged his signature approach to art.

A following text considers Millet’s most celebrated painting, The Angelus, the critical response to it in France and its legacy. The final essay concentrates on Millet in Britain, exploring his popularity among collectors in the late nineteenth century, and his relationships with them and other artists.

The extraordinary story behind Manet’s portrait of his only pupil Eva Gonzalès, placed within the broader context of women painters of the period Edouard Manet (1832–1883) only ever had one formal pupil, Eva Gonzalès (1849–1883). The daughter of a prominent writer, she entered Manet’s studio aged 19. He portrayed her the year they met and exhibited the ambitious full-length portrait at the Paris Salon of 1870, at which Gonzalès also displayed her own work, for the first time, to positive reviews. The first in a new series of Discover titles, in which a single work of art in the National Gallery’s collection is reconsidered from a fresh perspective, this book reveals the extraordinary story behind Manet’s portrait by examining it in the context of women’s artistic practice in nineteenth-century Paris, Gonzalès’s development as a professional painter, and Manet’s career in 1870. Combining new art historical research with engaging essays on women artists and their representation in visual culture, Discover Manet & Eva Gonzalès provides a richly illustrated, in-depth study of Manet’s portrait and offers a groundbreaking viewpoint on both artists.
