Manet was, arguably, the most scandalous painter of his time. His nudes (particularly "''The Picnic''" and "''Olympia''")  were the cause of great public uproar.

He completed painting his last masterpiece, A Bar at the Folies-Bergère (Le Bar aux Folies-Bergère), in 1882.

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 51.
