Edouard Manet
1832 - 1883

Manet, not to be confused with Monet, was the pivotal turning point for the Impression movement of the latter 19th century. He was a steady exhibitor of the Paris Salon, so did not join the Impressionist in any of their showings. He was one of the first painters to render the ordinary people of the city and country side. He was a noted portrait painter in the area and operated his own studios, which was difficult for most of the artist of the day. He collaborated with all of the artists that would become famous later on. He died early in life from complications of a leg amputation.
