Art Quote of the Day 
Happy b-day Manet! I love his work…and nice portrait to go with quote Mr. Milkman! 🙂
My original criteria, of a) landscape format and b) a largest plainish area where the quote can be placed, has had a third criterion added – approx 4:3 format so I don’t crop anything when resizing to 800 px by 600 px. This painting fits all three.
I don’t know where in the world you live but I went to an excellent Manet exhibition at the Royal Academy in London last spring. Here is my review:
