“Édouard Manet (1832–1883) was a French painter considered a pivotal figure in the transition from Realism to Impressionism and a pioneer of modern art. Born into a wealthy Parisian family, he defied convention by painting modern life with a bold, direct style, famously causing scandal with works like The Luncheon on the Grass and Olympia. Although he never exhibited with the Impressionists, his innovations in technique and subject matter heavily influenced them and the course of modern art.”
