About
Manet visited Spain and the Prado Museum in 1865 where he saw Diego Velazquez's Pablo de Valladolid. Velasquez's work directly inspired The Fifer, Manet described it as, "the most astonishing piece of painting ever done… the background disappears: it is air which surrounds the fellow, dressed all in black and full of life". Manet sought to emulate this with the young boy painted here, simplifying the background so much that the boy seems to almost glow against it. The piece was rejected from the 1866 Paris Salon, but was met with praise by those who saw it away, garnering Manet some attention from the public.
