Édouard Manet was a French painter who stood at the crossroads of Realism and Impressionism. As one of the first 19th-century artists to engage with subjects from modern life, he became a pivotal figure in the transition towards Impressionism. His early masterworks stirred considerable controversy, yet are today considered watershed paintings marking the genesis of modern art. Manet's legacy lies in his bold approach to contemporary themes and his formal innovation.
