"Lola de Valence" is an oil painting created by the French artist Édouard Manet in 1862. This work is a striking example of Manet's early style, which often combined traditional techniques with modern subject matter, challenging the conventions of the art world at the time. The painting depicts a Spanish dancer named Lola Melea, who was a performer at the Hippodrome in Paris. She is shown in a theatrical pose, dressed in a vibrant, elaborate costume that includes a voluminous pink skirt, a black lace shawl, and a flower-adorned headdress.

Manet's portrayal of Lola is both sensuous and assertive, capturing her in mid-performance with a confident gaze directed at the viewer. The background is rendered in a loose, impressionistic manner, which contrasts with the detailed depiction of Lola's attire and figure, highlighting her as the focal point of the composition. This juxtaposition of detailed and loose brushwork is characteristic of Manet's innovative approach to painting.

"Lola de Valence" was exhibited at the Salon of 1863, where it garnered significant attention and controversy. The painting was praised by some for its boldness and modernity, while others criticized it for its perceived indecency and departure from classical norms. Notably, the poet Charles Baudelaire wrote a sonnet inspired by the painting, further cementing its place in the cultural discourse of the time.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic qualities but also for its role in the broader context of Manet's career and the development of modern art. It exemplifies his interest in contemporary life and his willingness to push the boundaries of traditional art forms. Today, "Lola de Valence" is held in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where it continues to be celebrated as a key work in Manet's oeuvre and a pivotal piece in the history of 19th-century art.
