My Take

What strikes me about Eva Gonzalès is how easily she gets overshadowed. She's grouped with Cassatt, Morisot, and Bracquemond as one of the four great women of Impressionism, yet she's the one I see mentioned least. As Manet's only formal pupil, she had to fight to be seen as a painter rather than a muse. A Box at the Théâtre des Italiens is her calling card for me. Dying at just 33, days after childbirth, cut her story painfully short. I think she deserves more space than history usually gives her, and I find her work worth seeking out.

Overview

Eva Gonzalès (19 April 1847 – 6 May 1883) was a French Impressionist painter. She was one of the four most notable female Impressionists in the nineteenth century, along with Mary Cassatt (1844–1926), Berthe Morisot (1841–95), and Marie Bracquemond (1840–1916).
