The Artist

Edouard Manet

It is said the early masterpieces of Edouard Manet marked the start of modern art. He was one of the first artists to paint modern life and played a pivotal part in the transition from Realism to Impressionism. He was born in 1832 in Paris to an affluent and well-connected family. It was envisioned for Edouard to pursue a career in law but his Uncle encouraged Manet to pursue his passion of painting.
