À propos de l'auteur

Édouard Manet was a pivotal figure in the transition from Realism to Impressionism in the late 19th century. Born in Paris, he was initially trained in the traditional academic style but soon began to challenge the conventions of his time. Manet's work often depicted contemporary life, yet he infused it with a boldness that was both innovative and controversial. His most famous works, such as "Olympia" and "Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe," sparked debates about the role of art in society and the nature of beauty, leading to significant shifts in artistic expression.
