Edouard Manet was the painter who gave a modern touch to painting by the subject and by the impressionist painting technique.
One of the canvas that had a shocking effect on the public at the exhibition in Paris “le Salon” was a nude woman seen having lunch on the grass with dressed men. At that time, he gave a modern touch to the art of painting.
Moreover he continues with a second scandal with the exhibition of his painting “Olympia” always at the “le Salon” which represents a luxury prostitute with his client.
He went on to paint the modern and real life of the cities, for example, cafes, restaurants, cabarets and more. The details of the subject are no longer important, it is the emotion that takes over.
Finally Manet is one of the fathers of the impressionist movement. One of his last paintings « Un bar aux Folies Bergère » resumes well the modern side of the subject painted in an impressionist way.
