#LiveLikeARockefeller: Edouard Manet’s ‘Lilas et roses’ has brought joy to two generations of the Rockefeller family.
.
Purchased in 1938 by Abby Aldrich Rockefeller and John D. Rockefeller, Jr., the little painting was later passed down to the couple’s youngest son and his wife, David and Peggy. ‘I remember very clearly this small Manet flower picture hanging in Mother’s sitting room,’ David recalled. ‘It is certainly a painting that gives ongoing pleasure.’
.
Manet often gave his flower paintings to friends. This particular work was a gift to Ginevra Hureau de Villeneuve, the daughter of his doctor.
.
‘I love flowers, and white lilac and roses above all,’ Ginevra wrote to Manet in thanks. ‘In sending me some which will never fade, you have given me the most lively pleasure.’
