Pierre Courthion chronicles Manet's revolutionary artistic journey, from his early academic training and the scandal surrounding Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe and Olympia to his pivotal role in bridging Realism and Impressionism. With scholarly precision and an elegant, appreciative tone, Courthion illuminates the social and cultural forces that shaped Manet's bold rejection of academic convention, arguing that his unflinching depictions of modern Parisian life permanently altered the course of Western painting. Richly detailed in its analysis of technique, composition, and influence, the text situates Manet within the broader arc of nineteenth-century European art, drawing on letters, critical reviews, and contemporaneous accounts to bring the artist's world vividly to life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48792189403355,"sku":"2026600000538-SECONDHAND","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c9c321a6-385f-491a-ac63-b282a3caa25a.png?v=1779273122","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026600000538-secondhand-edouard-manet","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
