Edouard Manet

Édouard Manet, born January 23, 1832 in Paris and died April 30, 1883 in the same city, was a major French painter and engraver of the late 19th century. Precursor of modern painting which he freed from academicism 1, Édouard Manet is wrongly considered as one of the fathers of Impressionism 2 : he is distinguished from it by an approach concerned with reality which does not use no (or very few) new color techniques and the particular treatment of light. However, he approaches it through certain recurring themes such as portraits, seascapes, Parisian life or even still lifes, while painting in a personal way, in a first period, genre scenes: Spanish subjects in particular according to Velasquez and odalisques after Titian.
