Eva Gonzalès was born in Paris on April 19, 1849 to a cultured pair of parents who influenced her passion for art. Her literary father was a Spanish national who had become a French citizen, and her mother was from Belgium and of notable musical talent. The Gonzalès home hosted many interesting visitors and young Eva grew up amid an environment of fascinating discourse and talent.

Meeting Manet

Eva’s first teacher was portrait artist Charles Chaplin, and she later studied with the charismatic Edouard Manet. Like Manet, Gonzalès focused on acceptance by the Paris Salon and did not participate in the independent exhibits of the French Impressionists. Her work, however, paralleled certain impressionistic tendencies and as a contemporary of the French Impressionists, she is generally included among them from a historical perspective.
