The painting featured is Édouard Manet’s “The Balcony,” created between 1868 and 1869. This iconic work depicts three figures on a balcony, depicting a scene from 19th-century Parisian life. The painting is notable for its composition and use of light, and is one of Manet’s most famous works. The Balcony is an example of Manet’s realist style, which sought to depict everyday life in a straightforward, non-idealized way.
