Manet

Meer over het boek

Throughout his life, the visionary artist Édouard Manet (1832–1883) strove to leave behind the conventions of painting of his time.  Genre paintings, maritime landscapes, still lifes or portraits – for Manet, painting has always been the representation of reality. His works bear witness to a deep sensitivity. Even if he never received the recognition he sought during his lifetime, at least posterity recognized his deserved place in the circle of great artists.
