Painting by Édouard Manet From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Portrait of Stéphane Mallarmé is an 1876 oil on canvas portrait by Édouard Manet of the poet Stéphane Mallarmé, a friend of Manet's.[1][2] It is now in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, which originally had acquired it from the subject himself.[3]
The painting became famous probably because, as Georges Bataille remarked, it “radiates the friendship of two great minds”. In fact, Manet and Mallarmé, throughout the last years of the painter's life, saw each other almost daily, and the death of the artist plunged the poet into great sadness, to the point that his absence seemed "unbelievable" to him.
