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.
