Edouard Manet, "Folkestone Boat, Boulogne"

Édouard Manet, "The Folkestone Boat, Boulogne," c.1868-72; The Philadelphia Museum of Art.

At first glance, the reproduction below (possibly a digitally altered image) doesn't look much different from the original. But a closer examination reveals that excessive contrast has erased a lot of beautiful detail. It's a shame, because the first-hand photo seen above is easily available at the website of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where the painting is located. No need to make changes; the authentic painting is bright, colorful, compelling, and full of movement "as is."
