During the summer of 1876 Manet visited the small village of Montgeron in the province of Seine-et-Oise to the east of Paris upon the invitation of a patron of the Impressionists, the businessman Ernest Hoschedé. (Hoschedé's wife Alice later became Monet's second wife). During his two week visit Manet painted this and several other works to decorate the Hoschedé country home. However, Manet returned to Paris with works unfinished and they remained in his studio until his death in 1883. This work shows Jacques, the oldest son among Hoschedé's six children, in the flower garden of the Hoschedé home. The painting also shows a decorative vase that appears occasionally in other works by Manet. During this period Manet abandoned his 1860s painting style with its heavy use of black and its flat application of color, and began to use a brighter palette and livelier brushwork under the influence of the Impressionists, particularly Monet. He painted scenes from "modern life" under bright outdoor light and the formal and subject characteristics of this work confirm the style of his 1870s work. The decorative composition also suggests the influence of Japanese art, particularly that of the Rimpa school. (Source: Masterpieces of the National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo, 2009, cat. no.68)

- Object title (Japanese): 花の中の子供 (ジャック・オシュデ)
- Object notes (Japanese): 1876年の夏、マネは印象派の画家たちの庇護者であった実業家エルネスト・オシュデ（彼の妻アリスはのちにモネの後添いとなる）の招きによりパリの東、セーヌ=エ=オワーズ県にある小村モンジュロンを訪れた。この2週間程の滞在中に数点の絵と共に描かれた本作品はオシュデの別荘内の戸口上部を飾るためのものであったが、未完のままパリに運ばれて、1883年のマネの死に至るまでそのアトリエに置かれていたことが知られている。画中、オシュデ家の庭園の草花の中に埋もれて描かれているのは、オシュデの6人の子供のうちの一人長男ジャックである。その傍らには、マネの作品に時おり登場する装飾鉢が置かれている。この頃のマネは黒の多用と平塗りの手法を基調にした1860年代の作風を捨て、印象派、ことにモネの影響の下に、明るい色彩と生動感の溢れる筆触の効果を用いて、戸外の光の下での「現代生活」という主題を追求していたが、この作品には、技法、主題の上で、そのようなマネの1870年代の作品がもつ諸特徴を認めることができよう。また、極めて装飾的なコンポジションには、日本美術、とりわけ琳派の影響も指摘されている。（出典: 国立西洋美術館名作選. 東京, 国立西洋美術館, 2006. cat. no. 68）

Giclée Quality Guarantee:
Giclée printing is meant to produce a product at a higher quality and longer lifespan than a standard desktop inkjet printer. The word was used to describe digital reproductions of conventional artworks (painting or drawing) or photographs.
There are at least three basic criteria which must be met in order for the print to be considered a true giclée...
- For giclée printing, the paper or substrate used to actually print the final piece must be acid free and consist of a 100% cotton base.
- Any image that is to be printed as a giclée needs to be created at a resolution of no less than 300 dots per inch (DPI). This is to ensure that the final print has the sharpest detail and lacks any of the fragmentation that can occur with images less than 300 DPI.
- The last step to creating or confirming a true giclée print is the type of ink and printer used. The biggest contrast between a standard inkjet print and a giclée print is that giclées are printed using pigment-based inks rather than the dye-based inks found in lower cost inkjets. Pigment-based inks have a longer life span that can last anywhere from 100 to 200 years without significant fading.
The Quality :
The quality of the giclée print rivals traditional silver halide and gelatin printing processes and is commonly found in museums, art galleries, and photographic galleries.
With Giclée printing technology, we are able to provide the best possible quality for the reproduction of fine art masterpieces as well as your personal photos. Our prints capture the subtlest of colors and contrasts, while retaining superb image sharpness.
