# Clemenceau at the Tribune [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MANET, Edouard]() - Date: 1851-1900 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 116 x 94 cm ## Commentary Georges Benjamin Clemenceau \(1841-1929\) was a French journalist, physician and statesman. He was French prime minister twice, in 1906-09 and from November 1917-20. He was the senior French representative at the Versailles settlement after World War One. The politician had little time to pose; but sketching in face, torso and crossed arms with lapidary indications and a 'japoniste' outline, Manet contrived to give physical expression to the hectoring energy and taunting humour of the 'Tiger' - the man credited by France with winning the First World War. ## Related artworks - [A Bar at the Folies-Bergère \(detail\)]() - [A Bar at the Folies-Bergère]() - [A Matador \(Matador Saluting\)]() - [Argenteuil]() - [At Longchamp Racecourse]() - [At Père Lathuille]() - [At the Café \(Bock Drinkers\)]() - [At the Café]() - [Baudelaire Bareheaded, Full Face]() - [Baudelaire with Hat, in Profile]() - [Baudelaire's Mistress Reclining]() - [Bench in the Garden at Versailles]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
