Manet
Now considered a master of inestimable importance in the history of painting
Violently criticized during his lifetime for his supposedly provocative paintings, French painter Edouard Manet (1832-1883) is now considered a master of inestimable importance in the history of painting. His Déjeuner sur l`herbe remains one of the most memorable images of the 19th century.
