Édouard Manet

1 works

Édouard Manet (1832–1883) was born in Paris and worked there all his life.

A bold pioneer of modern painting and a close friend of the Impressionists, he is famous for Luncheon on the Grass, Olympia and A Bar at the Folies-Bergère.

As a teenager he sailed to Rio de Janeiro as a cadet on a training ship, and the sea and boats remained among his favorite subjects.
