MANET – LE FIFRE AND LE GUITARRERO
OVAL ART MEDAL 2007/5767
Third Medal in the Series “Music in Art”
Very Limited Edition: 75 Gold Medals Only

The third medal in this beautiful series of colorful art medals features two works by Edouard Manet: a color lithograph of Le Fifre (The Fifer) and Le Guitarrero (The Guitar Player) in relief.
Prominent French painter Edouard Manet (1832 – 1883) made the transition from Realism to Impressionism. He chose contemporary subjects such as leisure activities and musicians, and was as concerned about the placement of colors on the canvas as he was about realistic representation.
Le Fifre joins the violin players of Yosl Bergner and Marc Chagall which were on the previous medals in this series. The “symphony” created by these beautiful works of art is rising to a crescendo!
