Peonies 1864–65 Edouard Manet French This picture belongs to a series of peonies that Manet painted in 1864–65. Reportedly his favorite flower, Manet grew peonies in his garden at Gennevilliers. Their broad petals and leaves and their delicate hues were perfect vehicles for his loose and sensuous brushwork and for his virtuosic handling of subtle harmonies of Peonies. Edouard Manet (French, Paris 1832–1883 Paris). 1864–65. Oil on canvas. Paintings
