A Bar at the Folies-Bergère shows a scene from Parisian life at the time: a young barmaid is positioned behind the bar of a crowded night-club. The club, its guests, the barmaid, the male customer, the chandeliers, alcohol bottles, flowers and oranges in the space are reflected in the mirror behind the counter.

The painting was intended for the Salon, and because of his recently awarded Legion of Honor, Manet could be sure this piece would be accepted. This painting would be considered from the impressionistic style. That Manet’s Bar is a masterpiece can hardly be argued, but the intent of the piece however is the source
Edouard Manet’s A Bar at the Folies-Bergere, is one of the most controversial paintings in the world. The picture that is shown in the mirror mainly brings up the subject of the painting.

Why was Luncheon on the Grass a disturbing painting? To what degree was it a novel (new work) painting? To modern-day viewers, Luncheon on the Grass ("Dejeuner sur l'Herbe"), 1863 by Edouard Manet would not be considered a disturbing painting, but at the time Parisian’s Society found the painting very disturbing. Both because of the style of the painting, and it’s subject matter. The style of the painting is very different from what was acceptable by the Salon standards of the day. The
Luncheon on the grass created an enormous amount of negativity and Manet's painting Olympia put the icing on the cake. Due to its brazen nudity it was labeled as being obscenely vulgar.
