=Manet=

Born on January 23, 1932, in Paris, France, É duardo Manet is known for his painting and printmaking in the 19th century. Manet’s uncle, Edmond Fournier, wanted Manet to pursue painting, so to spark his interest even more, Fournier took him to the Louvre. In 1841, Manet enrolled at Collage Rollin where he was admitted into a drawing class to continue with art. Throughout his life, he began to make bonds with other famous artists of his time. Manet also got married to Suzanne Leenholf, and in 1883, on April 30, É duardo Manet died in Paris, France at the age of 51. Manet is most famous for his works of art; these include, Olympia, The Railroad, Le Dèjuener sur I’herbe, and many others, some of which are located at the Louvre. Manet painted a lot of café scenes. He painted things from people writing and reading to people socializing. Some of his paintings were of social events, such as people attending operas or parties. Manet painted pictures of the world around him; he would capture scenes he saw on the streets of Paris or wars that were happening at the time. Manet was also known for developing his own style known as impressionism and he painted during the realism movement as well. Some would say Manet was influenced by painters such as Thomas Couture, a French artist who painted during the academic art era, or Francisco Goya, a Spanish artist who painted during the romanticism era. Manet was also said to be the influence of many painters including Picasso or Pissarro by beginning the impressionism era. A lot of Manet’s work is displayed in Paris because the city partially inspired his work. He took everyday life and turned it into art, allowing people to appreciate the world around them, then capturing the moments that stood out to them.
