Painting Information
During the summer of 1869, Manet and his family resided in Boulogne, where he dedicated himself to painting various scenes depicting the harbor and the sea. This particular artwork presents a striking nocturnal setting, featuring women gathered closely together on the quay, seemingly waiting. The moonlight illuminates their white headscarves, as well as the water and the quay itself. While the painting's enigmatic nature raises questions about its possible narrative, it possesses a less intimate quality compared to Manet's other works.
Manet employed a harmonious blend of blues, grays, blacks, and whites, employing thick impasto in several areas, notably over the moon. Although the overall palette leans towards darkness, elements of the brushwork are beginning to showcase impressionistic tendencies.
The presence of ships in the harbor and the cloudy sky recalls Manet's earlier "historical" painting, "The Battle of the Kearsage and the Alabama," which he created for the Salon in 1864, depicting a recent naval battle from the American Civil War off Cherbourg. This fusion of history, reportage, and narrative is also evident in some of his other notable works, such as "The Execution of Maximilian" (1867), inspired by shocking news accounts detailing the death of the Austrian Emperor of Mexico.
Notably, the strong vertical lines of the masts in the foreground serve as an intriguing composition element, potentially indicating the early influence of Japanese prints. These prints had started to be imported and played a significant role in the evolution of European art.
