Original Description
Édouard Manet's Lola de Valence (Guerin 23; Harris 33) is a striking portrait that captures the fiery spirit of Spanish dance with bold, unapologetic verve. Painted in 1862, it depicts Lola Melea, a dancer from the troupe performing at the Hippodrome in Paris, her vibrant rose-adorned costume and confident pose radiating sensuality and movement. The loose, expressive brushwork and rich contrasts—deep blacks against warm pinks—exemplify Manet's transition from academic tradition toward modernism. His use of flattened space and abrupt juxtapositions foreshadowed Impressionism, while his choice of a marginalized performer as subject challenged bourgeois conventions. This work holds a pivotal place in art history, bridging realism and avant-garde experimentation; it famously inspired Baudelaire’s quatrain celebrating Lola’s "dangerous" allure.
For interiors, Lola de Valence lends drama and sophistication. Its dynamic composition suits a study or lounge, where the warm pinks and golds can harmonize with jewel-toned velvets or brushed brass accents. Hang it against deep teal or charcoal walls to amplify its contrast, ideally at eye level in a well-lit alcove or above a console table. A gilded Baroque-style frame would accentuate its theatricality, while minimalist settings benefit from a slim black frame for modern edge. At 48 × 36 cm, the oil-on-canvas works best as a focal point in intimate spaces—pair it with sleek mid-century furniture or ornate Art Deco mirrors to balance its exuberance. Avoid cluttering nearby walls; let Lola’s arresting gaze command the room.
