Line in Front of the Butcher Shop (Portfolio of 30 Original Etchings by Édouard Manet) 肉屋の列（「マネ、30点のオリジナル・エッチング集」より）にくやのれつ（「まね、30てんのおりじなる・えっちんぐしゅう」より）
Description
1870年の7月、隣国プロイセンが宣戦布告し、普仏戦争が始まると、翌71年2月、プロイセン軍はパリへ入城した。フランス政府軍は降伏したが、その後、政府に反発するパリ市民によるパリ・コミューンと政府軍との間で内戦が起こり、死者3万人という「血の1週間」を経て、ようやく混乱はおさまった。マネはこの間、家族をスペイン国境近くに疎開させ、ドガとともに軍に入隊すると、パリの防衛にあたった。本作は、戦乱によって食糧難を極めるパリの一角で、肉屋に殺到する市民の列を捉えたもの。揺れ動く時代の中で、眼前に広がる現実の光景を描き止めようとするマネの意気が伝わってくるようだ。
