Edouard Manet was a French painter and one of the first nineteenth century artists to approach modern-life subjects.  He is considered to have been a pivotal figure in the transition from Realism to Impressionism.  Some of his early works engendered great controversy and served as rallying points for the young painters who would create Impressionism.
