Manet was, arguably, the most scandalous painter of his time. His nudes (particularly "''The Picnic''" and "''Olympia''")  were the cause of great public uproar. His sketchy, spontaneous, and sometimes brutally honest technique inspired the most pivotal art movement since the [[renaissance]] - [[impressionism]]. 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.
