manet's last jan 09 flowers

UPDATE to include the names of the pictures.

Yes, this is another art blog. I just had to share these pictures with you, they are precious and priceless, painted while Manet lay dying. Thanks to this website-please check it out if you are interested in his work. There is also a book called The Last Flowers of Manet available on Amazon.
Many of these are in private collections; I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like to have one of these on your wall!

All are in private collections unless otherwise noted.
