Fishing. Artist: Édouard Manet (French, Paris 1832-1883 Paris). Dimensions: 30 1/4 x 48 1/2 in. (76.8 x 123.2 cm). Date: ca. 1862-63.Patterned after elements in landscapes by Peter Paul Rubens, the present painting gives currency to Delacroix's recommendation to Manet: "Look at Rubens, draw inspiration from Rubens, copy Rubens. Rubens was God." Manet and his future wife, Suzanne Leenhoff, are the couple at lower right dressed in seventeenth-century costume and posed like Rubens and his wife in the Flemish painter's <i>Park of the Château de Steen</i> (Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna). As Manet had concealed his relationship with Suzanne from his father, who died in September 1862, it is likely that <i>Fishing</i>--a variation on a wedding portrait--was made between then and their marriage in October 1863.

Diana and Actaeon (Diana Surprised in Her Bath). Artist: Camille Corot (French, Paris 1796-1875 Paris). Dimensions: 61 5/8 x 44 3/8 in. (156.5 x 112.7 cm). Date: 1836.From its imposing size to its refined execution, this painting is elegant testimony to Corot's ingenuity: the landscape appears surprisingly natural, yet it is painstakingly composed. The narrative, from Ovid's Metamorphoses, recounts the fate of a young hunter Actaeon as he encounters the naked figure of the goddess Diana and her nymphs enjoying a woodland bath. Diana, in a fit of embarrassed fury, splashes water on the unwitting hunter, transforming him into a deer. There is a marked difference between the general tight handling of paint and tonal contrasts, and the background on the left, which is sketchy and silvery in tone, typical of Corot's late style. A year before the artist died, he was asked to repaint this passage as a courtesy to the picture's new owner. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

When, at age twenty, the youth emerged, Philippe truthfully explained to him all that he saw until they came to a party of young women. "What is that" asked the youth. "A party of geese," his father replied. "Father, I beg you, let us take one with us." The umbrella casts delicate shadows on the women, while the young man's response leaves little to doubt.
