Édouard Manet (1832–1883) was a pivotal French painter who played a crucial role in the transition from Realism to Impressionism in 19th-century art. Known for his bold brushwork and modern subject matter, Manet’s works often depicted contemporary life, challenging traditional artistic norms. His early masterpieces, "The Luncheon on the Grass" (1863) and "Olympia" (1865), caused public uproar due to their unconventional depictions of the nude and frank portrayals of urban life, marking him as a groundbreaking figure in modern art.

Manet was deeply influenced by the Old Masters, but his approach to composition, lighting, and subject matter introduced a fresh perspective that influenced a generation of younger artists, including the Impressionists. Despite often refusing to exhibit with them, his friendship with artists like Claude Monet and Edgar Degas cemented his position as an essential link between academic art and the emerging avant-garde movements. Notable works like "A Bar at the Folies-Bergère" (1882) showcase his innovative use of reflection and perspective, capturing the vibrancy and ambiguity of modern Parisian life.

Over his career, Manet faced criticism and rejection from the traditional art institutions of his time, yet his work gained recognition for its pioneering qualities. He received significant accolades, including a posthumous retrospective at the École des Beaux-Arts in 1884, solidifying his legacy as one of the fathers of modern art. His daring approach to painting laid the groundwork for future movements and continues to inspire artists to this day.
