Collection: Édouard Manet

Édouard Manet was a pioneering French artist who bridged the gap between Realism and Impressionism. Known for his bold depictions of modern life, Manet challenged traditional norms with expressive brushwork and contemporary subjects. His iconic works, like Olympia and Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe, sparked controversy for their realism and departure from classical traditions. Though not formally part of the Impressionist group, Manet’s innovative style had a lasting impact on the evolution of modern art.
