Edouard Manet - Paintings

Édouard Manet, who is considered one of the main exponents of Impressionism, was an important French painter in the second Half of the 19th century.
Born on January 23, 1832 in Paris.
Died on April 30, 1883 in Paris.
Édouard Manet, who belonged to the propertied classes, began his studies at the Académie Suisse after a six-year apprenticeship with the history painter Thomas Couture. In 1867, six years after exhibiting his first paintings at the Salon, Manet traveled to Spain in order to study the works of Francisco Jose de Goya, El Greco and Diego Velázquez. Already in 1867, he presented his works to the public at the World Exposition. Manet attracted the attention of art lovers and the newly forming Impressionist movement with paintings like "Breakfast in the Open" and "Olympia", which provided for a great scandal, because Manet had broken all conventions with the nudity of the depicted women. Like his fellow Impressionist painters, Édouard Manet enjoyed the desire to experiment. He used less or no shadow at all and used little light-dark contrasts, which aroused a lot of criticism in the society of that time. His paintings mostly deal with single or group portraits. He was also a plein-air painter. The figure, however, was often the central subject matter of the painting.
