Manet, like his good friend [[Edgar Degas]], was a self-confessed urbanite, and many his works depicted life in the city. He died in Paris in 1883. He was only 51.

== [[Still life]] ==
Still-life was an important element in the paintings of Édouard Manet; He painted still lifes throughout his career but his most sustained interest in the genre itself was from 1864 to 1865. [http://www.artic.edu/aic/collections/artwork/44892] Manet was unfortunate to suffer a long illness before he died, however some good did come out of it. He would paint the small bowls of flowers that visitors would bring, including his legendary "Lilacs in a Vase". [http://www.geoffreychatten.com/blog/paintings-of-flowers/] Manet considered Still life to be the "touchstone of the painter".
