Édouard Manet

Édouard Manet (1832–1883) was a pivotal French painter who bridged the gap between Realism and Impressionism.

With bold brushwork and a masterful treatment of light, he captured modern Parisian life in all its facets. While often associated with the Impressionists, Manet maintained a distinct style that profoundly influenced the course of modern art.
