Édouard Manet: A Bar at the Folies-Bergére This painting was Manet’s last major work. It represents the bustling interior of one of the most prominent music halls and cabarets of Paris, the Folies-Bergère. The Folies-Bergère was also notorious as a place to pick up prostitutes. The writer Guy de Maupassant described the barmaids as - vendors of drink and of love. This masterpiece is now located in the Courtauld Gallery in London, UK.
